Rocco - a special gentleman

Sweet Rocco

Rocco is another of our dogs who has known a home and a family, yet has ended up in the Refugio without his beloved bosses. In this case however, Rocco wasn't cruelly dumped but he did come to us through cruel circumstances. His family were victims of the terrible economic recession here in Spain. They were forced to return to Argentina, but couldn't find the large amount of money needed to fly Rocco back with them. Great sadness for them and for Rocco.

He's a handsome, calm gentleman but he's missing his people and his old life enormously. He's coping very well in the Refugio. With so many dogs and people around it's bound to be confusing, especially since Rocco is deaf. But he lives his life without problem and is also great with the other dogs. He still holds back a little with strangers, but not for long.

Rocco has the most amazing eyes - one is brown and one is blue. This makes him very special, but indeed he is very special as his sweet personality and intelligence make him unique. Fabienne says that in some ways he's like 'a man in dog's clothing'.

Now all this dear and special dog needs is his own family. To have his own basket, his special place in his family's heart, just as he had before. It wasn't his fault that he lost his loved ones, and it wasn't their fault either. But they would be so happy to know that Rocco was once more a beloved family pet surrounded by love and cuddles. And so would we.

A dear and special dog

 

All he asks is a family of his very own again.

Who will help make Rocco happy again?
