**Rocko will be available for adoption at Rosedale Mills (Pennington, NJ) over the Oct 12-14 weekend.**

When a man went to check on the noises that were coming from an abandoned house near where he lives, he was startled to find nine very young puppies all huddled together. They were crying out, obviously very hungry and looked very thin as if they hadn't ate in a few days. These pups couldn't have been over 2 weeks of age and their mom was nowhere in sight, meaning that someone had simply left the pups at this house to survive on their own. This man graciously cared for the pups for a month until we could get them into our rescue. Rocko came from this litter of pups.

Upon arrival, Rocko instantly became our friend and displayed no hesitation about the new people in his life. He's quick to accept new things and people. He's also very playful with other pups and will make a great family companion.

We're not exactly sure of his bred mix but Rocko and his siblings have the appearance of possibly being a Doberman mix. We think the litter will grow to be around 50-60 lbs. Rocko will need all of his basic training.

 As of 10/1/18, Rocko has received 2/3 of his first year puppy vaccines with the final vaccine due on 10/14/18;he's been neutered, received his rabies and bordetella vaccines; been de-wormed; treated against parasites and started on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. When adopted, a microchip will also be supplied for him.
