This is Rocco, 4 years old. He was found emaciated, looking very sad and miserable. The day we rescued him, in the evening there was a snow storm which he probably would not have survived. He is at a dog hotel at the moment because there is no other place he could be brought to safety nearer the charity base.

Fortunately, we were able to move Teddy to Chiara a charity Trustee so he took his place in the hotel.

He is good with other dogs, he may be younger than 4 as he is very playful. He likes people and looks for cuddles even from people he doesn’t know.

He will be tested and neutered next week.
