23. Rocko
Aye Yo Rocko!
This 5 month old peanut is ready for his forever..Rocko came to us a week ago and this is what we know:
Rocko LOVES to lay his head on your shoulder and snuggle in. He is house trained and sleeps through the night 🙌 Rocko only barks if he is startled by something. He has played well with our resident dog BUT the interactions with the resident cat have been dicey. I wouldn't recommend a home with cats at this time. Rocko has loved giving and receiving love from the resident kids 🤣 so green light to kids!
If you are interested in meeting our new friend you can email our matchmaker AMMRMelissaC@gmail.com.

Adopting a dog in Cape May County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
