Rocco - Retriever and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Rocco!

Rocco is a curious little pup. He loves playing and cuddling just about the same.

He will be introduced to two cats in the near future so he can get used to them.

He loves to play with his siblings but we are unaware if he has spent time with any adult dogs.

Rocco is playful, cuddly, silly, affectionate, and goofy and can't wait to play and run around with his new forever family, could that be you?

Rocco is estimated to be 10 weeks old and 8 lbs. Since we don't know the dogs actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.

We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!

Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/
