Meet Rocco! This sweet 1 year old pup is ready for his happily ever after! Rocco was found wondering the streets a few months ago and taken in by one of our volunteers. He has since completed the training program and is looking for his forever family!  Rocco would thrive in an active home that will keep him exercised! Being a young Shepherd mix he would not thrive as a couch potato. His favorite thing ever is playing ball! He could do that for hours!  This guy is good with other dogs, great with older, active kids and would love to join your family!  Rocco is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and HW negative. He is leash trained, potty trained and does well in a crate!    If you are interested in Rocco please visit our website and complete an adoption application! https://www.prodogsohio.org/adoptables His adoption fee has been sponsored !!   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We appreciate your support, in order to help us continue to rescue dogs!

Story
Say hello to DINO! This bundle of joy came into the rescue and stole everyone’s heart immediately. His kind endearing eyes will make your heart melt. Dino was a puppy that was found by a wonderful person at the person’s place of employment. He fed Dino daily and allowed him to sleep in his car on his lunch breaks. Dino remained loyal and stayed around the place of work until they reached out for help from the rescue. To this day he loves cars and feels very safe from the outside cruel world inside of one. Dino has now been placed in a loving foster home and is learning to play wonderful with the foster’s big dogs and puppies that are fostering with him half his size. Dino is doing great in a crate and potty training. This guy catches on really quick. He is so appreciative of having a safe environment to thrive. He will lay on you or keep his head in your lap forever if you will allow. Personality: Dino is goofy, energetic, and playful! He does well with correction. Dino would be great in a home with another dog to keep showing the ropes of puppy life. He is soooooo ready to be your new best friend and would love a home where he can grow to be a wonderful life long family companion. Once adopted Dino will travel via the Rescue Transport to his new family. They travel each weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the northeast, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make this cutie part of your family, please follow the link below to our adoption application.
