Meet Rocko

Rocko Update! 8/4/26 Rocko has officially been cleared medically He's been busy working on his leash skills and learning his manners, and he's making great progress. Thank you to those who donated to his care! This sweet, gentle boy recently enjoyed his very first restaurant outing and park adventure, and he was an absolute superstar! ⭐ He relaxed at the restaurant, walked nicely on leash, and seems to do well around other dogs. Rocko is a sensitive soul who takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, you'll have a loyal best friend for life. He's a very sweet and loving boy. He's ready for a forever family that will help him keep building his confidence while enjoying all of life's adventures together.

His foster is absolutely head over heels for him saying he is absolutely the sweetest dog! The veterinarian believes this sweet boy has a condition called Hypospadia which means he will need aperineal urethrostomy performed. This is a rare condition and the surgery is extremely involved. The expected bills are expected to be upwards of $7,000. All donations made will go to his surgery and expenses required for his recovery.
