Handsome friendly amstaff Rocko in danger@S.I. kill shelter-abandoned in Staten Island, New York For Sale

A staff member wrote "Dog appears friendly and allowed handling during the time of intake". The Assistant's observations: strong friendly; pulls on leash to the assessment area. During the assessment Rocko appeared strong and friendly, jumping up to lick the Assessor's face. He allowed the Assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items and accepted handling well. Rocko showed minimal interest for food and no interest for rawhide. He kept a firm grip on a toy. No other behavior issues; no aggression noted. Rocko is a strong friendly dog that should be a good family pet. It is the recommendation of the Behavior Department Rocko may be adopted by an average owner
Rocko is located at Staten Island Animal Care and Control. I am not affiliated with them. For more info about Rocko or to see his current status, copy - paste this link:
