Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

Yes

Rocco was left for up to eight hours in his previous home and was described as being settled during this time, aside from occasionally getting up to stretch his legs. However, he would need time to settle into his new home before being left for similar periods.

Do I have any medical conditions?

Existing conditions

Rocco has several current medical conditions, including Hip dysplasia, Allergic skin disease, spondylosis; and Pododermatitis (sore feet). These conditions will require consideration before he is rehomed.

Our rehoming team will be able to provide further information if you apply to rehome Rocco and are identified as a suitable match.

We also advise that any medical conditions, whether historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet before taking Rocco home.

Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home.

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

No

Additional information

Rocco would prefer not to live with any other dogs in his new home, as he finds the company of other dogs stressful. While he has been able to walk alongside another dog after a careful introduction, he remained stressed throughout and was unable to relax or enjoy the walk.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Rocco loves his people and greets them with a wagging tail and excited little foot stomps. He thrives on fuss and attention from his favourite humans. However, he can find some aspects of handling challenging, particularly when it comes from unfamiliar people or during veterinary visits. Because of his sensitivity to handling, Rocco is looking for a calm, adult only home.

What type of environment would suit me?

He will require his new home to have access to its own secure, private garden.

About Rocco

Rocco is a sweet, loving senior gentleman with a heart full of affection and loyalty. He absolutely adores being around his people and is happiest when he’s by your side, soaking up all the love and companionship he can get.

This charming boy is wonderfully social with humans and thrives on attention, gentle fuss, and quality time together. While he can feel a little worried around other dogs.

Rocco has a playful side too his toys are very important to him, especially his beloved crocodile, which never fails to bring him joy! Whether it’s a quiet play session or simply carrying it around, it’s clear it’s his favourite treasure.

One of Rocco’s greatest pleasures in life is being outdoors. He loves taking his time to sniff, explore, and enjoy the fresh air, appreciating the world at his own relaxed pace.
