Australian shepherd/border collie mix, Red tri-color Male, 1 year old 60 lbs Not good with cats or small animals! Dogs depend on meet and greets; he needs to be carefully introduced "Hey there! Looking for a fun, energetic dog to keep you company, maybe drag you on some runs? Look no further! I'm not only fun, I am beautiful too! I would make a great model for your Instagram or TikTok videos. But in all seriousness, hi there, I'm Rocco. I was named Rocky when I transferred over here from The Ark, but there was already a dog named Rocky here, so the SPCA called me Rocco. Humph! I thought I had first dibs on the name too. Oh well. "Transfer, you hear? Why, yes. The Ark is better equipped for smaller animals, and I'm just big enough to make things uncomfortable for them. When I came here, I had a history of being aggressive toward the other dogs at The Ark, but since then, I've showed promsie that with the right introductions, I might be able to go to a home with other dogs. I seem to have a pretty strong prey drive, so I'm not suited for small animals at all. They tried seeing if I was good with cats, but just seeing a kitty-cat made me want to go full hunt mode! So they said I failed and no cats for me. "Still, I'm a young dog with a big, long life ahead of me, and with the right human by my side to guide me, I can make an amazing companion and adventurer. So what do you say, want to be partners?" Can't adopt Rocco but want to support him? You can make a donation toward the cost of his care.
