Adopt Rocco

Mastiff · Male · Adult · 5 years

Rocco is a low to medium energy dog who walks beautifully on the lead and is happiest enjoying relaxed strolls with plenty of time to sniff and explore. He settles well once comfortable and is more than content to relax and enjoy a calm environment, making him a great companion for a quieter household. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and have the experience and patience to support a big dog with a few sensitivities, Rocco could make a wonderfully rewarding addition to your home. Home requirements: Rocco is a friendly, happy chap who enjoys meeting new people and quickly wins hearts with his gentle giant nature. At five years old, he is a very big boy who would thrive with an experienced owner familiar with large breeds and confident in continuing his social development. While Rocco is generally confident, he is slightly under-socialised with other dogs and can struggle to read their signals, so he will need patient guidance when out and about. He could potentially live with another well-matched, (neutered if female) large breed dog of a similar temperament. Rocco is best suited to an adult-only home, as he does value his personal space at times. He has previously experienced ear infections and can be sensitive about handling in that area, so his new family should be prepared to work on gentle, positive training to build his comfort and trust.- Rocco is currently having treatment for pressure sores. Available at Basildon (Essex), Wickford
