Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

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


Rocket, that’s the name he was given when me and my brother got him as a puppy. he is an amazing dog and such a good boy. he loves to play catch & only got to learn, sit, drop (ball) he’s a good listener.
we got him on may15,2023 so he’ll be a year next month. we love him we do but the timing wasn’t right no matter how much we tried. He is a handful and we weren’t ready to give him 100% of our attention due to work and already had a smaller dog and a cat which they didn’t really get along. he’s never bit anyone but he’s always been very territorial on his toys. he would growl but never in a hurtful way and is always so happy to be outside and will jump so high to catch his toys. he never got used to having a bed because he would always rip the beds or anything with stuffing in it. It would be ideal for him to find a better home then what we could have given him by someone who able to spend more time with him or have another dog with the same build to play with so he wouldn’t be alone.
