Are you right for Rocco?

Rocco has been reactive to dogs but has made great improvements with this and has been on group offsite walks, walking at a distance from dogs. However, he is still not fully comfortable so will need to be the only dog in the home and have his own private secure garden. He will also need walks in quieter areas and to be kept on his lead when out and about. He has though previously lived with cats, so we do believe he should be fine to live with them again if they are slowly and properly introduced. He can also live with small furries/birds, but they must be kept separated. Rocco can live with children aged 16 and over. His new home will also need to have the ability to separate him from the front door as he can be unsure of new people. He does also need to wear a muzzle for the vets, so any adopters will need to be comfortable with this.

Is Rocco right for you?

A proper little dude, Rocco is our 9-year-old Jack Russell x Pug looking for that forever home that will give him all the attention he deserves before a snooze on the sofa. Always up for fun, Rocco will also always happily jump in the car for adventures further afar. Although he can be a little nervous of new people initially, it doesn’t take him to long to warm up to you especially when he’s given some tasty treats to munch on. His love for food has also come in handy when it’s came to training and this clever little boy is always eager to learn new tricks. Once settled he Rocco would be able to be left for 4-6 hours, so would suit a working home.
