Rocco

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Rocco is a Bracco mix. At about one and a half years old, he still has his whole long dog life ahead of him. And he would like to share this with people who are just as adventurous as he is. Rocco is medium-sized, has a muscular build and is, as you can see in the pictures, a particularly handsome fellow with a great appearance. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes are especially striking. He is top fit in terms of health. Unfortunately, nothing is known about Rocco's first year of life. He was found alone in an industrial area near Zaragoza. There he wandered around and fed on the garbage he could find. At that time Rocco was still quite thin, and because they were worried about him, the animal welfare association was finally notified. Since Rocco had no microchip for identification, he stayed with us at the animal shelter. In the meantime, he has gained a lot of weight and has developed into one of the happiest dogs in the world. Rocco is very friendly towards both humans and other dogs. His greatest "weakness" is at the same time what makes him: he has an incredible amount of energy! So sometimes he can be a bit too stormy and intense when playing. On his walks, he is accompanied by Indi, a husky mix. She is also his best friend here at the animal shelter. The two of them play together every day. They love to play in the paddling pool, because Rocco has no fear of water.

Braucht jemand neuen Schwung in seinem Leben? Wenn du weiterliest, bist vielleicht genau du die Person oder Familie, nach der unser Wirbelwind Rocco sucht. Rocco ist ein Bracco-Mischling. Mit seinen etwa eineinhalb Jahren hat Rocco noch sein ganzes, langes Hundeleben vor sich. Und das möchte er gerne mit Menschen teilen, die genau so abenteuerlustig sind, wie er selbst. Rocco ist mittelgroß, hat einen muskulösen Körperbau und ist, wie man auf den Bildern sehen kann, ein ausgesprochen hübscher Kerl mit einer tollen Erscheinung. Besonders auffällig sind seine wunderschönen mandelförmigen Augen. Gesundheitlich ist er topfit. Über Roccos erstes Lebensjahr ist leider nichts bekannt. Er wurde allein in einem Industriegebiet in der Nähe von Zaragoza gefunden. Dort streunte er umher und ernährte sich von dem Müll, den er finden konnte. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war Rocco noch ziemlich dünn, und da man sich Sorgen um ihn machte, wurde schließlich der Tierschutzverein verständigt. Da Rocco keinen Mikrochip zur Identifikation trug, blieb er bei uns im Tierheim. Inzwischen hat er ordentlich zugenommen und sich zu einem der fröhlichsten Hunde der Welt entwickelt. Rocco ist sowohl gegenüber Menschen als auch gegenüber anderen Hunden ausgesprochen freundlich. Seine größte „Schwäche“ ist gleichzeitig das, was ihn ausmacht: Er hat unglaublich viel Energie! Beim Spielen kann er deshalb manchmal etwas zu stürmisch und intensiv werden. Auf seinen Spaziergängen wird er von Indi, einer Husky-Mischlingshündin, begleitet. Sie ist auch seine beste Freundin hier im Tierheim. Täglich spielen die beiden zusammen. Am liebsten im Planschbecken, denn Rocco hat gar keine Berührungsängste mit Wasser.

About Rocco

What life with Rocco looks like

Rocco is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Europa handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Europa will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Rocco already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rocco isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Europa early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocco and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
