About this Dog
Why Rescue? Because Every Dog Deserves a Second Chance When you adopt a rescue dog, you’re not just saving a life but changing it forever. Rocko Richie is living proof of why second chances matter. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi, Rocko was at risk simply because there wasn’t enough space. But today, he’s safe… and waiting for someone to show him what forever really feels like. Rocko is: Gentle and calm Friendly with people and other dogs A little shy at first, but full of quiet loveHe’s the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much—just kindness, patience, and a place to belong. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, gratitude, and a bond that only a rescue dog can offer.All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

Adopt Rocko Richie and Receive Rocko Richie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rocko Richie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Rocko Richie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Rocko Richie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rocko Richie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rocko Richie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rocko Richie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Rocko Richie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rocko Richie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
