My story

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

A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at Tito's Handmade Vodka.
The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process.

Hi, my name is Rocket! I'm am from Minnesota.

Rocket is such a fun and loving girl.

She is very energetic and LOVES games! Rocket enjoys playing with her toys and chasing balls in the backyard. She even made up a game of hide and seek and trained us how to play! She very playful and incredibly smart! A good nap on the couch or under your desk at your feet is also appreciated, because it can wear a puppy out playing so hard. It is one of the cutest things ever when she gets the zoomies; she is so fast! Rocket, is also good about entertaining herself and will settle down and work on a bone if it isn’t time for playing together.

Rocket would be best in a home where she isn’t left alone for too long. She has never had any accidents in the house and isn’t destructive at all, but she definitely prefers to be in the company of others.

Rocket, is on medication for her anxiety and is working hard with her trainer; she has come a long way since she first arrived at our house! She’ll need to continue with medication and her adoption includes some training sessions. We’ve seen a ton of improvement, but coordinated introductions with people continue to be necessary. A home with a fenced in yard and no shared walls are also necessary. A quieter street would be amazing for her. Going on walks, meeting other dogs, and dealing with loud noises are other things she can work on with you and her trainer.

From her non-reaction to the rabbits and squirrels in our backyard it appears she doesn’t have a strong prey drive, but it is unknown how she would do with cats. For now, she would thrive being the only animal in the household.

Everyone, even the “not dog people”, fall in love with Miss Rocket. If you can put in the time to help her feel safe and see how great life can be, you will be rewarded with her charming smile, her sweet snores, and a buddy who is always at your side.

My adoption contract will include 3 training sessions and my adopters can choose foster to adopt where Rocket could live with an interested applicant for 1 month before moving forward with adoption.

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
