Rocco : Ready for adoption

Please read this advert fully before applying for Rocco.

If you do not meet his criteria do not apply,thank you

Location Norfolk area ,you will be requested to travel to carry out as many meet and greets as required.

Rocco is an adorable boy,his owners have found it very hard coming to the decision to rehome him as he is dearly loved.

They feel his needs must come before their own,and would love him to be placed in a home where he is loved as much as he is with them.

Rocco has had a previous home before this family rehomed him,he was only a young dog when they took him on.

He was being left for too long during the day ,which caused him anxiety.

His current owners have worked on this ,and Rocco settles now for a few hours.

Please NOTE Rocco has a high prey drive,his new owners will need to be aware of this and keep an eye on his surroundings whilst out.

We would suggest some training in this area would be beneficial.

NOTE Rocco is also a sock stealer ,so we would advise his new owners to pack socks away out of his reach.

If he gets a sock he will not give it back,or if he steals a treasured item he fancies ,he will not return it.

This will need to be addressed with some training in this department.

Rocco can live with another dog or dogs of a similar size ,as he is a large Cockapoo

Can live with children aged 8 and over (please note no babies ,toddlers in nappies )this is due to a fetish of pinching nappies and chewing them.

No cats

No full time workers,Rocco needs human company as he was left long hours in his very first home.

Safe and secure garden with fences/walls at least 5/6 ft ,if you have hedges they must have safe fencing behind them

We would love to rehome Rocco in a home not far from the Seaside,as this is his favourite place to explore.

If you have a holiday book in the future please state on your application form

Meet Rocco

DOB August 2021

Male who is neutered

Height TBC

Weight 22 Kgs yes this is correct

Vaccinated

Flea and worming treatment up to date

Grooming Requirements

Rocco has a soft,wavy,curly coat sheds minimal,as all dogs shed some amount.

He is brushed and combed through at home on a regularly basis,which his new owners will need to continue with as doodles coats can matt.

He does attend a Professional Groomers and his current owners also bath and clip him.

Note Rocco we are told loves a bath

Exercise

Rocco gets exercised a few times per day,and has garden playtime throughout the day.

He does go off lead ,but if he sees a deer,rabbit or squirrel he will go into prey drive gear.

We suggest using a long training lead,and work on this behaviour with a dog trainer ,or hire dog paddocks.

Rocco is very good walking on his lead,which is a huge bonus.

He loves playing with balls ,and his owners believe he would be an excellent dog to train with agility.

He interacts well with most dogs whilst out and is not bothered by them.

General Information

Rocco Good temperament, super cuddly (loves to nestle in for a cuddle and be close) very loving, bouncy and excitable.May jump up and get over excited when first meeting and greeting,but settles pretty quickly .He is good with children of all ages, however as with any dog would never leave with child alone.

NOTE if very small children get loud he may hump the sofa,this is another reason his current owner would like a home with older children.He does live with children but the youngest can be boisterous and loud,so Rocco will then either hump sofa or take himself off somewhere quiet.

Reluctant to give back socks (this needs some negotiating and training as he will guard)

Rocco is toilet trained,but as we state on every advert an odd accident may happen whilst any dog is settling in a new home.

He is non destructive in his home

Sleeps on his own sofa in the living room

Can be left up too 2 hours whilst new owners attend duties ,a little longer on occasions if necessary

Rocco is not crate trained and would hate to be crated

He travels well in the boot of the car,likes to look out of the window

Dislikes the evil Hoover he will bark at it

His loves are the beach and water

Favourite things ,Football! Cuddly toys he will take the stuffing out. He loves zoomies with owners child. Likes a tennis ball thrown (although you have to swap balls because he rarely gives the first one back)

Rocco truly is an adorable dog,he just needs some tweaking here and there with his training as suggested above.

If you feel you have the time ,love and commitment to give to Rocco then do apply.

If you live in rented accommodation ,we will request documentation that a dog can live in the property

A full vetting and homecheck will be required by potential applicants

An adoption fee of £250.00 will be requested for Rocco
