Story
Hi my names Poncho!I am a lovable boy is that is a perfect mix of goofy, charm, and heartfelt loyalty. I am the kind of dog who greets each day with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart, always ready for a game, or a good cuddle.I am still learning about the world, so confidence-building and proper socialization will go a long way in helping me feel secure. New people and new situations can make him a little unsure at first, but give me a moment — and a gentle, patient approach — and you’ll see me blossom. Once I trusts you, my loyalty is unwavering. I want to become that dog who follows you from room to room, checks in with soft eyes, and leans in for affection like you’re my whole world.If you’re ready to help a sweet soul grow into my full potential, I am ready to give it a shot! My ideal home involves:Children: would be best with older children or adult homeOther dogs: I need proper socialization - still learning Cats: I will chaseFirst time dog owner: Someone with dog experience would benefit me.Housing environment: House with a yardFenced in yard: Yes Someone home most of the day: YesActivity level: Medium to High House trained: Will need some more training- Improving

Story
My name is Rocco,At first glance, I may look like the kind of dog who could guard a castle — broad chest, strong stance, that classic Rottweiler confidence. But spend even a moment with me, and you’ll realize I am just a big, soft, sucky boy who wants nothing more than a human to love. I am wonderful with strangers, gentle with children, and happiest when I am a part of the family action. I like to say I thrive on connection with people and would make an incredible companion for someone who wants a loyal, affectionate shadow.Here is what I am looking for: • A loving home where I can be the only dog• A family or individual who appreciates a big, cuddly companion• Someone who understands that behind my tough guy looks is a total sweetheartMy ideal Home includes: Children: YesOther dogs: NoCats: NoFirst time owner: An experienced owner would benefit meFenced in yard: could do well with or without a fenced in yard. Housing environment: apartment/house with a yard. Someone home most of the day: I do well on my ownSome other things to know: Activity level: Medium House trained: yesBirth date: 06.09.18
