From Coastal K9 German Shepherd Rescue

Rocco’s journey to us began with a lifesaving act of compassion. Our friends at DaisyLu Ranch, a senior dog rescue in Camarillo, spotted a video of Rocco at the South LA shelter and knew they couldn’t turn away. He had clearly lived a rough life and was moments from euthanasia, so they stepped in and saved him. Now 8 years old and about 95 pounds, Rocco is everything people love about a big dog with an even bigger heart. He’s quiet, affectionate, and happiest when he’s near his people or chasing after a tennis ball. His bloodwork and dental exam came back great, and he’s fully vetted and ready for his next chapter. Rocco seems comfortable around calm, large-breed dogs, but he is not a fit for homes with small dogs. Because DaisyLu specializes in small seniors, Rocco didn’t have the environment he needed to thrive. We partnered with them to give him a fresh start, and he is now safe in a foster home while we search for the family he’s always deserved. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, ball-chasing buddy who just wants to be part of your world, Rocco may be your perfect match. If you think you might be the one for this gentle giant, we’d love to introduce you. Please visit…
