Rocco was adopted as a puppy and returned to the shelter 14 years later as a senior dog. An overcrowded inner city shelter is no place for a senior. They are more susceptible to infection and he quickly developed kennel cough which led to pneumonia. He has been two months with us and has made an amazing recovery. 

Our veterinarian says he is in great shape for a 14 year old. His cough is gone and his lungs are clear. if you have ever thought of adopting a senior he is your guy. He still enjoys a walk and loves the car. He has had X-rays and blood work and all came out great. 
he does take thyroid medication once a day and it is very reasonable.

We are looking for a forever foster or adopter for Rocco. We would like to see him as an only dog so that he can get all the attention but he can be with calmer dogs. He has a bit of arthritis and is not interested in playing with more active dogs.
