Meet Rocco, the sweetest little snugglebug you'll ever meet! He may be a bit timid at first, but once he feels safe, his true personality shines through'loving, cuddly, and so eager to be your best friend. This boy is incredibly food-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. He's still learning leash manners (his adorable zig-zag walk keeps things interesting!) and is potty trained, so he'll need a patient family to help him continue building good habits. He loves other dogs and would love a furry sibling to play with and learn from! He wants a dog friend to challenge him and not be submissive. He could also be a great single dog as long as he gets activity in! He has been good with cats and children. Letting young children come up to him at a brewery and be in his face giving him love At home, he's a dream in the crate'sleeping peacefully through the night and content when left alone. He loves exploring the yard, sniffing every corner, and having a good romp before curling up for snuggles. A fenced in yard would be best as he enjoys being outside and this helps remind him to go potty outside. Because he's still gaining confidence, loud noises can be a little scary right now, but he's learning that the world is a safe place with the help of patient people around him. Above all, he's just so sweet and affectionate'the kind of dog who will quickly steal your heart.

Didn't need a huge outing to tire out for his nap back home. 🪨 Still a bit timid through entryways
