From Rescued Tails Animal Sanctuary

Sweet Rocco had been living at a local land fill for over a month! He was terrified and would run away when people tried to help him - no one could catch him. We borrowed a live trap, and within two days the little guy was caught. Rocco is safe here with us, and he has come along way since the day we rescued him a number of years ago. Rocco has generalized fear and anxiety which will show as "aggression" if not handled properly. He has met new people and dogs and is gaining confidence, but he still needs slow introductions to new dogs, and when strangers visit the house he must be slowly introduced in a positive way. Rocco is a petite little guy (around 45-50 ponds) who is house trained and loves to "go with" on any excursion. He listens well, loves to play with squeaky toys, and has completed his basic obedience training class. During vet visits he wears his muzzle and does best with minimal restraint. Rocco has really bonded with us, and it appears as though he has some separation anxiety - his family is the most precious thing in his life - more important than food, water or comfort. Rocco does not want to be, and he currently cannot be, left alone - he has climbed six foot…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
