Rocko is a sweet perfect angel baby boy who due to uncontrollable circumstances is now in search of a new home. He has been loved and cared for deeply his entire life and his personality shows it, as he is eager to warmly greet almost anyone he meets with a big smile on his face and tail wagging. Rocko has been child-tested and approved with all age ranges, and grew up with a cat whom he did fine with, though he apparently could get grumbly when the cat neared his food bowl. He may come on too strong for some cats, and can be tempted to play-chase them when they run by him quickly, but from what we can tell Rocko has never shown any true malice to cats before, so he could likely do alright with a dog-savvy cat who isn't afraid to stand up for themself. Rocko has also done well with dogs smaller than him (he is 60lbs) and seems to do best when the other dog is relativley passive or submissive with him. Dogs larger than him however can feel a little threatening though, so to avoid any uncessecary stress he'd like to be in a home without any bigger guys. Though Rocko deals with some of the expected health dilemmas that come along with his "senior" label (some mild joint pain at times if he chunks up too much, taking a little extra time to sit up or lay down, and needing to empty his bladder more frequently than he used to) these symptoms do not deter him and he is overall quite spry for his age! He still shows great strength and would likely do best with a harness when on walks as he is very eager to go. On the note of walks, while he does fine when contained by a fence, in non-fenced in areas it is in Rocko's best interest to stay on-leash as he does have an independant streak and does not always care to come when called. All-in-all, Rocko is a mellow sweetheart who would love nothing more than to live out the rest of his days with some leisurely daily activity  and both receiving and providing loving companionship with someone who thinks he's just as cool as we do!  show less
