WELCOME WITH OPEN ARMS ROCCO. CAN YOU SUPPORT A LOVING SENIOR DOG?
Rocco is eleven years old and a beautiful senior cross breed Staffy. He has plenty of life in him and is extremely happy on his walks and loves sniffing every blade of grass. Sadly Rocco was adopted at one year old under another rescue and has been returned recently due to a marriage breakdown. Unfortunately Rocco's charity now has little resources so we have taken Rocco under our wing to try and place him with someone very special. Rocco is now in kennels and this has been very upsetting for him and all concerned. We feel he is a little shut down and his tail only wags slowly when he sees his harness and lead. We are confident that Rocco will come back to life once he finds home comforts and a regular routine. He is one amazing senior boy desperate for love. Rocco is happy with people and easily managed around other dogs however is not a huge fan of other hounds. He needs and deserves the limelight in his retirement and we now appeal again to find him someone very very special. CAN YOU HELP? Rocco has now been waiting in kennels for a month. He has been health checked and had a booster vaccine and yet despite appeals on social media Rocco is still waiting. Rocco kissed the vet on his recent visit and we felt like he had gone back into a home. This senior dog needs a lifeline. PLEASE READ ON.

WHAT HOME DOES ROCCO NEED?

Rocco is now looking for a five star retirement. He has had such an upheaval and lost his home and people. Although at the moment he is a sad old soul we are confident he will blossom and the frown he owns will disappear and hopefully turn into a smile. Rocco loves his walks and will need someone that can offer him the exercise he needs. He loves to sniff about so a garden that is enclosed would be brilliant for him. A home as an only pet would suit him fine with lots of attention and focus on him. Rocco is easily managed around other dogs but prefers his space not to be invaded. He needs a home as an only pet. We do not know whether Rocco has previously lived with any children so due to his age we feel an adult home would be perfect or also with adult children. We will consider older families. Poor Rocco now deserves a new start and his time to shine. Detachment from pets seems to be such a common occurrence at the moment for so many dogs. If you feel you can offer this boy a quiet and kind retirement pad then we would love to hear from you. Rocco has no health issues and will be vaccinated. He is already castrated and is one very clean boy in his kennels. Special someone please consider this senior boy. As Winter sets in we are appealing for many dogs to find a fireside and some warm comforts. PLEASE SUPPORT. 

Please contact us at Good Life with information about yourself and the home you can offer. We work hard to match our adopters and dogs together ensuring that humans and hounds are very happy.  We encourage adoption and invite anyone with misconceptions of rescue dogs to come and meet some very special dogs with huge characters and love to give. We are very active in the work we do and are very dedicated to the welfare of the dogs in our care and the Yorkshire strays. We have no staff and exist as a volunteer based charity. Support is always greatly received. 

Rescue dogs have often suffered difficult lives and some form of trauma or abandonment. We ask people to consider the huge commitment and lifestyle change of owning and adopting a dog. Rescue dogs often need time to settle back into a home. This can take at least four to five weeks for dogs to feel settled and more secure. If you are dedicated and understand that all rescue dogs need time to adjust then we would love to hear from you.
