Rocco & Erin

Human: Erin
Canine: Rocco
Location: San Francisco
Together since: 2007
Type: Chow mix
Favorite dog group: SF Animal Care and Control shelterWe first met Rocco on a cold January day at the San Francisco Animal Care and Control shelter. His fluffy, cinnamon-colored coat, large black ears and wagging tail, caught our eye. We fell for him that day, but it took us three more weeks to finally make our decision. He was so big! What are Chows like? Will he be good with kids? We consulted our parents, friends, the shelter staff and strangers. We needn't have worried. From the day we took him home, he has been a joy and an amazing addition to our life. I can't even imagine not having him!

“I had a chow-mix many years ago and she was one of the best dogs I've ever had too! She was a stray running down the road with a rope around her neck. It took awhile for her to warm up to us and when she did, we were loved forever and so was she. We called her Annie for Little Orphan Annie. ” — Lou Ann, Jul 01 2009

“We are Rocco's "grandparents" and though we live in Seattle, Rocco hss come to visit us twice and he is a love! His furry coat just makes you want to pet him and he enjoys the attention. Jim and Jane” — jbecker42, Jan 29 2008
