Meet Rocko!

Jun 30, 2017 1:41 AM

Hey y'all. I volunteer at a small rescue in middle Georgia. Now I know most of yall aren't interested in adopting. However, part of my volunteer work is to assist with doing adoption pictures. Basically that boils down to me humiliating dogs by dressing them up in silly outfits in the hopes that their family will see the funny pics and find them! Thought you might get a laugh if nothing else. ****EDIT****thanks to everyone that noticed the confusion on his age/how long he's been with us. Did some checking, and you were right! He's actually 3, and he's been here since he was a puppy. So thank goodness for photoshop! I've updated his petfinder listing linked below, but can't seem to trade out images on imgur mobile. Again, thank y'all!

Rocko is such a good boy. He is totally down for all my dress up antics. :)

Born model.

About to impart some old school wisdom on you youngins.

Just kidding.

He needs a cigar.

Rocko is very patient with people. He's quite the slobbery marshmallow. He REALLY loves his ears scratched.

And of course he's photogenic. If you want to schedule a meet and greet, please email a request to peachcountyanimalrescue@gmail.com

How do even manage to bid him goodbye at the end of the day?! He's wonderful, I want him to find a forever home asap.

Literally can't wait until I am out of grad school and financially stable and can totally adopt an adorable pitbull

He's a beautiful dog! It will make it extra hard to find a home if he may require surgery for his knees one day. I hope he finds someone!

Came here to say exactly this. I made myself sad by living in the wrong place...

The climate and poisonous flora and fauna would have you right at home.

Why does his photo say he's been looking for a home for 4.5 years but according to the shelter ad he's only 3?

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

It's in dog years

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe the ad was made when he was 3 and they just use the same one?

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Because... humans. I'm working hard to get our info all in one spot and up to date, and this slipped through by accident! Need to check 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

2/2 records and verify. Good eye! Thanks!

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I noticed that too. Shelters often guess the animals age when it's unknown and sometimes make them younger for easier adoption. Just guesses

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

This is exactly why, do you blame them though?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not in the least. This sweet guy needs a home. :)

If you know of Chows, I'd be interested.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'll keep you in mind! How do you feel about chow mixes? I do see a few. Don't be afraid to try AC's around here too, you'd be surprised.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I have 2 rescues, both PB and love them to death. Shedding and all. It's amazing how much a Chow can adapt to hugs and kisses.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

AC = Animal Control? And mixes, depend on the mix. I've seen tons of "mixes" on PetFinder that have so little Chow in them it's funny.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Haha. Yeah, animal control. Many AC in my area at least have like volunteer groups that post out animals for visibility 1/2

2/2 may be of interest to you. :) thanks for adopting! It's amazing!
