Meet Rocco
To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Rocco is a 4yo male husky/shepherd mix who is being surrendered by his owner in TN because he is too large and active for their special needs toddler. Rocco is friendly and well socialized, he loves people. He loves kids and is great with the family’s 3 young children. Fine with cats and living comfortably with 3 cats in the home. Good with other dogs but he considers himself the alpha dog. Very active outside, settles down quickly in the house. Good house manners. Crate trained and housebroken. Obeys basic commands. Loves to be with his people. Good on a leash, rides great in the car. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, neutered, weighs about 90 pounds. AWESOME shepherd mix will make a wonderful companion (and jogging partner!) for an active family who loves the breed. Here’s some notes from Rocco’s mom: We have had Rocco since he was a little puppy but now we have special needs toddler and he needs a more active family home… We have 3 kids, and he is great with all of them; he’s great with friends and friend’s kids too. All kids at park know him and pet him often… I take him on a mile walk daily, but I think he needs to run and walk more… Loves to run, fetch, play with his ball toys, loves attention… He hates to get brushed, so I give him treats while brushing him out… He thinks he’s the alpha dog and has had issues with non-neutered males in the past... He is a great guard dog. He barks whenever anyone comes into our yard or home that he doesn’t know. But he does warm up to people easily when he realizes not a threat… He walks good on a lease… We have 3 cats. It took some time for them to get used to each other since he was so much bigger than them. But, he just wants to play with them all the time. He does leave them alone if they swat at him… Rocco has had training, he can sit, lay down, somewhat stay, and talk some when asked. He’s super smart and super strong and picks up on things really quickly... We got him over COVID and I work from home so we have always been home with him… He’s a little hyper and needs to be walked at least twice a day. We walk in afternoons after school and evenings around 8 before crating him for the night... I haven’t known him to be fearful of anything, he just likes to be around other dogs or people. He would fetch the ball all day long if he could, he loves being outside… Rocco’s ideal adopter is a young family who is very active and have experience with large, strong dogs. He is such a sweet dog that needs to be with people who can give him the activity, time, and love that he needs and deserves.
