• “Hi, I'm Rocko! I'm a very sweet boy who is eager to please his humans. I spent the first couple years of my life on farmland, but I got into some trouble with porcupines, so my first owners surrendered me. Lucky, I've found my forever home now! I get along with other dogs eventually, but it takes me a long time to warm up to them. So I'm looking for a space to run and explore like when I was a pup, where my owners don't have to worry about surprise run-ins with other dogs.“
