Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rocket: Your Potential Furever Companion!
Rocket is a special pup in need of a loving home! At around 1.5 years old, he's already won the hearts of many with his charming personality. Plus, he won't grow much bigger, making him the perfect size for cuddles!
This handsome guy has some impressive credentials – he's been welcomed at Lowes and Petco! But that's not all there is to Rocket. Here are some fun facts about him:
💙 Rocket is a lovebug who craves attention and affection.
🐾 With proper introduction, he gets along well with dogs.
💙 He's good with cats, often ignoring them and will chase them if playing.
🐾 Rocket is still learning to walk on a leash, especially in cold weather. Training treats have helped him improve.
💙 He would thrive in a household with kids 10+ as he can get startled by sudden movements.
🐾 Rocket experiences some separation anxiety, so patience is key.
Fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and neutered, Rocket is ready to find his forever family. Despite his past, Rocket remains an amazing, loyal, and loving dog who deserves nothing but happiness!
If you're patient, compassionate, and ready to give Rocket the love and care he needs, please consider adopting him. Visit providingforpaws.org to learn more about Rocket and submit an adoption application.
