LOOK AT THAT FACE!
Hello! I’m Rocco, a 3 year old neutered male French Bulldog/Pit Bull mix. I’m one fun loving dog! I love playing fetch all day, and I know some tricks and could easily learn more! I get along with other dogs, and I’m cautious around cats. I will need a patient and experienced handler as I had a rough start to my life and now have a few issues. I will need some strict training and a consistent, dedicated owner who will put time into showing me how to be a confident guy who doesn’t have to resort to guarding behavior around unfamiliar people. I am incredibly smart, and if given tricks to perform, I will outshine any competitor! Ask about me! I can’t wait to find that perfect match in a human!
The shelter thinks I am about 4 years old..
I have been at the shelter since Nov 24, 2015.

Dog owners are less likely to suffer from depression than non-pet owners. Even for those people who do become clinically depressed, having a pet to take care of can help them out of a depressive episode, in some cases more effectively even than medication. Since taking care of a dog requires a routine and forces you to stay at least a little active, it is harder to stay inside feeling down all the time. The interaction with and love received from a dog can also help people stay positive. Even the mere act of looking at your pet increases the amount of Oxytocin, the “feel good” chemical, in the brain.
