My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rocket is about 2 years old and weighs about 7 pounds. He can be described in two words. PURE JOY! Rocket needs to gain your trust. He can be hand shy in the begining but over time he will learn to trust you. He is healthy, happy, handsome and hilarious. He has an adorable personality. He is very affectionate, loves to cuddle, but also likes to curl up in his own cozy bed. He likes to go for walks and is great on a leash. He LOVES car rides and will enthusiastically let you know if you don’t get the car started and get going fast enough. Rocket had a rough time. His story starts for us when he was brought emaciated into the Carson Shelter as a stray. Rocket wants to be his person’s shadow. He can be shy but really wants to trust again. He just wants to give and receive unconditional love. You need to be patient for Rocket to gain your trust. If you are looking for the love of your life, Rocket may be your guy.
Rocket is 3 years old, good with other dogs, fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and has had an anesthetic dental. He knows basic commands and is using the dog door in his foster home.
WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS SO YOU MUST BE ABLE TO FLY TO LOS ANGELES,CA.
