Nov 4, 2009, URGENT!! You're Roccos' Last Hope

Can you help Rocco?......

Rocco is a red-nose Pitbull who's about 7 years old. He was saved from euthanasia about a year ago by The Dog Squad rescue, and has been in a foster home for the last 6 months.

However, Rocco now needs to find his 'forever' home... fast! He has some dog-to-dog issues and although 98% of his problems have been overcome, he still has that 2% which means he needs to be the only dog in his family. He can mingle and interact with other dogs though, and has made friends at his doggy day-care.

He's a very happy, loving boy with tons of personality and he deserves to have a chance at happiness in a home where he's 'Number 1'. He does have some food allergies, and a slight heart murmur, but otherwise he's in good health and he's a beauty too!

Rocco is a strong, muscular boy and weighs around 70lbs, and he has a BIG heart too. He needs an experienced, loving owner who will continue his training and who will enjoy his kisses..

This is Roccos last chance at happiness, and if his forever owner/s don't find him very soon he will be put to sleep as the Rescue center simply doesn't have the facilities or finances to keep him any longer.

PLEASE, if you (or someone you know) can offer Rocco the home and love that he needs, get in touch with caroline@thedogsquadrescue.org right away.

You can see photos and learn more about Rocco on the petfinder website here RoccoPit Bull Terrier

We're all hoping and praying for a happy ending to this story....
