My story

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

Inky is a sweet 32-lb boy who’s feeling a bit lost and confused right now. Everything is new to him, so he’s understandably nervous — but underneath the worry is a gentle, loving spirit waiting to come out once he feels safe.

He recently had a big grooming session by one of our fabulous volunteers (he was quite matted!) and handled it like a champ. Inky actually enjoys being brushed and adores gentle ear scratches. Because of his coat, he’ll need *regular lifelong grooming* to stay comfortable and healthy.

With patience, reassurance, and a calm home, Inky will soon realize he’s finally safe — and ready to open his heart.

Inky will need an adult-only home or one with dog-savvy kids 12+

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/
