My story

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

Handsome Cantaloupe is one smart, loving, and independent boy!

He’s pure love — a friendly, gentle 51-pound sweetheart who’s always ready to cuddle up and shower people of all ages with kisses.

Cantaloupe has mastered a lot of commands - he can sit, stay, lay down, and even give a handshake. He’s working hard in training to get better on a leash and in meeting other dogs and making great progress.

He’s fully house-trained and able to be on his own comfortably while his fosters are out. He may do best as the only pet in a home, or could do well with a slow intro to another dog.

Meet Cantaloupe - and prepare for the kisses! (AM)

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.

Adoption application

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/
