Hi, my name is Rocco (actually everyone calls me Hermie and that is what I answer to.) My foster mom warned me that I would probably have several nicknames as her other “boys” have about 6 nicknames each! My foster dad calls me “Sticks” because my legs are so incredibly long! I am a very tall boy! I was found wandering the streets but am very happy to have a nice place to stay. I am somewhere between 8 and 10 years old.
The vet that first checked me out said I was healthy except for my mouth. Unfortunately, my previous owners never took care of my teeth. They had to pull 22 of my teeth on my dental cleaning – but never once did I complain! I took all of my medications like a good boy and have enjoyed the soft food I am being spoiled with. I have a funny little mouth now as I only have my bottom canines in the front and they poke out over my top lip. It gives me character my foster mom says. (My web pictures were before my teeth were taken out). None of this has curbed my appetite one bit!
I get along with the other dogs here, and I even get to nap in bed with the whole family! I play chase with the little fellow here named Momo. I would run with the other one (Sam) but he is nine and has a bit of extra “cushion” on him. Sure doesn’t have the awesome tone of my sleek physique. My foster mom works from home so I adore getting to go in and out whenever I want and sleeping by her desk all during the day. I love to be petted and am always pushing a hand up on my head.
My foster mom says she wants a very special home for me because I am so special to her. I am her first foster and I’m doing my best. We will talk soon and I will try to get my foster mom to update some pictures really soon!
