7/1/2016 Update: Rocco was ADOPTED!!! It is with the GREATEST pleasure we announce Rocco has found his forever family.
When Rocco joined Rescue he was a mess. He had cherry eye, tonsillitis, ear and eye infections. After getting his eyes surgically repaired and all of his infections cured, Rocco started charming his foster family with his ginormous personality. Rocco loves everyone, so finding a forever family didn’t seem like it would be difficult for Mr. Personality.
Rocco’s forever family is a second generation adoptive family with No Borders Bulldog Rescue. Rocco’s new Mom and Dad’s son and daughter-in-law adopted the perfect Bulldog last fall. After spending time with their new “grand dog”, they fell in love with the Bulldog breed. The next step went from loving Bulldogs to wanting one of their very own. They completed the adoption process several months ago and began looking for the right Bulldog. Along came Rocco. After reading his background and looking at his pictures, his new family decided they needed to meet him.
The Meet and Greet was this morning, and as you probably guessed it….. it was a match made in heaven. Rocco was immediately comfortable with both his new Mom and Dad. He played fetch, shared his favorite toy and taught them how to give the perfect belly rub (to his exact specifications). It was immediately apparent Rocco will be spoiled rotten as his Mom had a seat all prepared for him right next to her in the car. Rocco will be the crown prince of his new home and all of us at NBBR couldn’t be happier for him and his new forever parents. Congratulations’ to the entire family

6/8/2017 Update: Please welcome Rocco to the No Borders Bulldog Rescue. Rocco is a 22 month old male English Bulldog that weighs 31 lbs.
Rocco joins the NBBR family as an owner surrender. Rocco was listed for sale on Craigslist. A good Samaritan Group were able to save him and surrender him to NBBR. The good Samarian group realized that Rocco needed a family that could/would provide the necessary medical care that he needed and wanted to make sure he found a better suited family.
Rocco made a quick stop at the clinic and it was determined in addition to the cherry eye in both eyes, he also has an ear and skin infections and tonsillitis. He will begin a course of antibiotics to get both his ears, skin and tonsil infections under control. While at the clinic he will also have his surgeries for cherry eye in both eyes and to be neutered. After that he will be joining his foster family for a little R and R.
Rocco is a tiny little guy that is full of energy. While Rocco might be a small package he is definitely overflowing with personality. He LOVES people of all sizes, other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind cats as well. Sometimes his energy can get him in trouble due to the fact that he needs to be reminded of his manners. Rocco will be working with his foster Mom to polish those manners and become the gentleman we know he can be. This handsome guy will begin the next chapter in his life: looking for a new forever home. With his rugged good looks and great personality he should have no problem.
