Please meet Rocco, our APS Pet of the Week! He’s technically a senior pup, but nobody told him that 😄. He’s a friendly, affectionate guy who loves balls and toys — and then settling down for a good nap when he’s finished.
More about Rocco:
Rocco here! I was recently voted Most Likely to Greet Visitors with a Friendly “Woof”! It’s just my way of saying I can’t wait to get to know you. I’m playful (I prefer two tennis balls at once, thank you very much!) and love gentle walks — I’m good on a leash. I’m healthy and active, but at eight years young, I won’t bring all that crazy puppy energy. I settle well when playtime is over and love a comfy bed. The volunteers here call me a “precious gentleman” and a “goofy, loving boy.” I can be a little stiff when I first meet new dogs, but once I’m comfortable, I settle into friendly sniffing, so I might like to have a calm dog pal. Slightly older kids (8+) are recommended for me since I can get excited about my toys — it’s best to trade me something (like a yummy treat! I’m not picky) if you need to take it away. If you’re looking for a chill companion who’ll also get you out and about, come visit with me today!
As POTW, Rocco’s adoption fee is WAIVED from today through next Tuesday, January 13!
