Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rocket is a 4 1/2 year male who is white with black ticking. He just finished a moderate race career and will soon be ready for his forever home. His small dog and cat status is unknown.
I’m Rocket. I’m a large white male with black ticking. Make no mistake, I’m definitely a male. Yes, I know that I will soon be snipped. Better that than producing puppies that may, or may not, survive in this harsh world. Racing was fun for a while, competing against those other dogs, beating them to the finish line, but I got tired. As a famous singer once sang, “Is that all there is?” When my number was called for retirement and I was scheduled to enter a rescue group, I was relieved. I would like to feel the sun on my face, sniff cactus, watch wildlife skip, hop and run through the desert. Most of all, I would like a special person to swoop in on a helicopter, 007 style, and take me home. Although a male, I sure like affection and snuggling with someone special. However, if you tell this to any of my colleagues at the kennel, I will deny it!
Rocket has an adoption pending.
