rocko

My name is Rocko and I’m joining the Paddy’s Paws family as a local surrender. I have always lived with other dogs and have met the 5 dogs of all ages and sizes in my foster home just fine.

My foster family will work on developing a crate routine and I'll get a break every 3-4 hours during a work day to make sure I have lots of time and attention. I have enjoyed their couch already and probably wouldn't fuss if you had stairs to help my potato body get up there, as I prefer to do it myself versus being picked up. Bulldog independence is important to me :)

I am not yet neutered, but will be in foster. My new family will need to be patient with me being recently altered mature male. Those hormones need to subside so I can catch on to your routine! I am most definitely a bulldog with my squatty body and bulldog antics! To know them is to love them, and as bulldog owners know, they have a personality all their own and need guidance, structure, and tolerance for gas ;)

My foster family also found out I likely have Idiopathic Epilepsy. This isn’t uncommon in my breed and is managed by medication. For this reason, I am looking for a family with Frenchie experience or bulldog experience.

Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care.

Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once
approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.
