My story

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

Meet Val (short for Valentine)! This 3 year-old shepsky mix is looking for his forever home. Val's fosters say he is best described as loyal, silly, active, and smart. He is an active guy who would make a great jogging partner, but also knows how to relax for a nap. He is 100% house trained.

Val does well with other dogs with a proper introduction, although he does better meeting dogs off leash than on leash. Once he's acquainted, he loves to play.

Val has some typical herding instincts, and does like to try to herd little kids, so he may do best in a home with older kids or adults only. Unfortunately these instincts also apply to cats, so no feline friends for Val. Val's ideal home would be a quieter setting outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue dog! Whether you adopt from Rocket Dog or another rescue group, the fact is you will save a life. Adopting a rescued animal is a lifetime commitment! The first step in our adoption process is completing an adoption questionnaire here: https://www.rocketdogrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/

From there, you will be contacted by a volunteer to talk more about what you're looking for and if the dog you're interested in might be a good fit.

Our dogs live both in foster homes and at the Rocket Dog Sanctuary in Oakland. The best way to arrange a meeting for a specific dog is to fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website here: https://www.rocketdogrescue.org/adopt/adoption-application/

We have adoption events every weekend throughout the Bay Area, which you can see here - https://www.rocketdogrescue.org/events/
