Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Description of pet
Our adoption radius is a maximum of one hour from Washington DC (~60 miles) - No Exceptions
Rocket will only go to a home with heeler experience as documented by vet records
##########################
WILL WORK FOR FOOD!
Meet Rocket (more like Torpedo)!
Rocket is an Australian Cattle Dog and he's 100% a working dog.
At almost 2 years old and 50 lbs, he is very dog friendly, clownish but very mouthy.
He will need an adopter who is 100% committed to his training, and mental and physical needs. He can clear a 5' fence with ease, so he should be taken out on-leash and trained not to jump, or needs a higher fence {with constant supervision no matter the fence height).
He loves to play tug of war and can play fetch for hours! He will herd the puppies in his foster home, or will herd the Jolly Ball around the yard.
Rocket should go to a home with ACD experience and due to his mouthiness should not go to a home with children under 12.
If you have allergies, you should spend some time with him to be sure this triple-coated prince won't affect you.
If you think you're the one for him and would like to make him part of your pack, please reach out to Tascas.Love@gmail.com for an application.
