10/27/04 From Rocko's last
foster home Rocko was the sweetest dog I have
ever met. Had it not been for my dominant female, he would still be with us.
Hopefully Rocko will be adopted shortly. Rocko is a wonderful dog and the
person who adopts him is going to very lucky. When we took him for a walk,
he did not pull the leash. He checked out every fire hydrant and pole. When
he had to go to the bathroom, he went to the door. When left alone in the
house while we went out, he did not have any mistakes and did not get into
anything. At night, he laid down in his bed and that is where he slept the
entire night. He was great with my two young children. When told to sit, he
did just that and he even knows paw. Even though Rocko was only with us a
short time, we cried because we had to return him because of how sweet and
kind of a dog Rocko is. As I am writing this, there are tears in my eyes
because Rocko is a lovable dog.
Could you please post this so people know how he is?
10/24/04 - Update and new pic
Poor Rocko went to a great home on Saturday. He loved the
family and the family loved him. He was great with their two kids and was a
complete gentleman the whole time. The family had one problem, their
dominant female did not like him and the home was afraid to try it any
longer.
Rocko is back at our kennel since we are out fosters.
Rocko is housebroken. He loves the car. Rocko is very sweet and loving and
behaves well on a leash. Someone took some time somewhere in his life to
work with him. We feel he is around 2yrs old. He is thin but gaining
steadily. He will make a great pal for someone.

Meet Rocko! He has only been on this
earth for about 1 year and it has been a very tough year for him. He is
extremely thin. The people who found him and his buddy in an abandoned
house could no longer afford to feed them so they were dropped off at a PA
shelter. His buddy was not so lucky, she did not pass the "temperament
test" so she was put to sleep. Being so emaciated who wouldn't growl if
they took your food away. I'm not even near emaciated (I'm chubby) by any
means but don't dare take my food away. I guess I would have been put to
sleep too. I would have not had a chance in that shelter. Lucky for you
and me, we are humans! The dogs aren't as lucky they don't have a voice.
Hopefully, every year after this one will get only better and better for
Rocko. He is a sweet boy who has been around children of all ages. He just
wants to cuddle and play with you. He is not a fan of cats but loves his
squeaky toy! He was well behaved in the car on the ride from the shelter to
the kennel where he must wait until someone contacts AABR to say they can
foster him.
Rocko is housebroken and is well behaved when left alone. He
is a bit strong on the leash. Today he was microchipped, neutered and
received all the necessary shots. This poor boy needs to gain several
pounds before he feels like himself again.
As we get to know him we will
post more information. He must go to a home that will be committed to him
for the rest of his life! He never wants to be dropped of at the shelter
again and he deserves never to go hungry again. If you are the human that
can commit to this special boy tell, AABR you are the right forever home for
Rocko!

state, and area code in the subject line of your message.
