Approx DOB:  6/24/2008       Approx Weight:  50 lbs. Adoption Fee: $100 includes a 2 week trial to ensure everyone's happiness.  Rocket was adopted from Furry Kids as a puppy and returned because he kept escaping his family's yard by jumping their fence.  We have also learned that Rocket is not good with cats.   When he was returned, his nails were extremely long. Shortly after he was returned, we also discovered that he was heartworm positive.  He has been treated for the heartworms and if kept on prevention should have no ill effects from them. The condition Rocket was returned in was poor and since then we have gotten his nails and body healthy:) Rocket is perfect!  He gets along with all his foster brothers and sisters!  He runs the dogs and then keeps to himself. He loves to snuggle with you on the couch.  He sleeps on his dog bed all night.  He might get up to look at you as if he's making sure you are still there!  He likes to run and sniff around outside.  And then he naps. If you happen to be someone who looks past the years you’ll see he is still very much puppy. The years won’t slow this boy down! Rockets ideal home would be a large fenced yard. He will sniff and play all day if you let him. He is also very calm and hardly ever barks. Since he is older children 13 and up is advised. He is kenneled trained and loves loves to cuddle. You may notice he has some long hairs and patchy looking fur; It definitely adds to his goofy demeanor. His face is the softest of any dog I’ve ever petted so definitely give him a good face rub while you’re visiting with him.  Rocket isn’t much of a playful dog he prefers to walk along side them. If you have a relaxed dog who could use a buddy give Rocket a chance. He deserves it:) Ask is about being a foster! We need wonderful people to be foster homes until they find their forever homes. Rocket has been neutered, treated for heartworms, is current on vaccinations and is microchipped.
