Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Yes Rocco was left for up to eight hours in his previous home and was described as being settled during this time, aside from occasionally getting up to stretch his legs. However, he would need time to settle into his new home before being left for similar periods. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Rocco has several current medical conditions, including Hip dysplasia, Allergic skin disease, spondylosis; and Pododermatitis (sore feet). These conditions will require consideration before he is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to provide further information if you apply to rehome Rocco and are identified as a suitable match. We also advise that any medical conditions, whether historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet before taking Rocco home. Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Rocco would prefer not to live with any other dogs in his new home, as he finds the company of other dogs stressful. While he has been able to walk alongside another dog after a careful introduction, he remained stressed throughout and was unable to relax or enjoy the walk. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Rocco loves his people and greets them with a wagging tail and excited little foot stomps. He thrives on fuss and attention from his favourite humans. However, he can find some aspects of handling challenging, particularly when it comes from unfamiliar people or during veterinary visits. Because of his sensitivity to handling, Rocco is looking for a calm, adult only home. What type of environment would suit me? He will require his new home to have access to its own secure, private garden. About Rocco Rocco is a sweet, loving senior gentleman with a heart full of affection and loyalty.
