Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Senior Beagle – Jack Russell TerrierROCCO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Rocco    Best Guess for Breed: Beagle – Jack Russell Terrier mix   Best Guess for Age: 9 years    SEX:  male Approximate Weight: 25 lbs. Gets Along With: other dogs; Rocco lived cats and showed no interest in them. Currently Living with a DC area foster, Rocco needs a forever home. Special adoption considerations:  Rocco will do best in a home with an experienced owner, another dog, and no kids under the age of 16. Rocco is definitely a people-person! He will follow you all over the house so close the door if you want to take a shower in peace. Yes, he wants to go for walks each day but when it’s time to come back inside this guy would like nothing better than to snuggle in your lap. Rocco’s quirk is that he gets scared when approached from behind. Being unpredictable it is best that he go to an adults-only home with an experienced owner. He would appreciate having a canine sibling to hang out with. Rocco has experience living with cats and reportedly acts as if they don’t really exist. Mental stimulation will be great for Rocco so look into puzzle toys, especially those where you hide a treat inside.  Beagles are food-motivated so bring plenty of treats along to reinforce those lessons. At 9 years old his days of running around are in the past but Rocco still needs to keep his brain busy. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee that any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  The adoption fee for this dog is $375, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
