Meet Rocco 🖤🐾
If you're looking for a fun-loving, goofy best friend with a big heart and even bigger potential... Rocco might just be your guy.
Rocco is a handsome black-coated pittie boy who brings a perfect mix of playfulness and affection. He's still very much a young dog at heart, with lots of puppy energy and a love for games--especially chasing a ball or working a flirt pole like a pro. He's smart, eager to please, and very trainable... he just needs someone willing to keep showing him the ropes.
Rocco is great with other dogs. He also has been introduced to cats on several occasions and has shown curiosity rather than aggression. A confident, dog-savvy cat that is comfortable around dogs and unlikely to run would likely be the best match for him
Rocco can be a little unsure in new places, and with new people at first, but with a bit of patience and reassurance, he settles in and lets his sweet, snuggly side shine. Once he knows you, he's all about cuddles, car rides, and being part of your world.
Rocco's Highlights:
~ Goofy, fun personality
~ Very trainable and eager to learn
~ Loves fetch and flirt pole games
~ Good recall foundation
~ Walks nicely on leash
~ Enjoys car rides
~ Snuggly and affectionate
What Rocco Needs:
Continued training and structure
Clear boundaries and consistency
A patient home to help build his confidence
Rocco is a wonderful dog who's already working hard on his manners and just needs the right person to guide him into being the best version of himself. With a little time and commitment, he's going to make someone an incredibly loyal, loving companion.
