My story

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

Meet Rocket — The Floofy Zoom Machine!
Age: 9 months
Breed: Husky (a.k.a. Professional Chaos Athlete)

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live with a caffeinated cloud, Rocket is here to demonstrate. He’s 9 months old, 100% husky, and approximately 10,000% energy. This boy isn’t just active—he’s the lead runner of the “Zoomies Across America” Tour.

What Makes Rocket… Rocket:

Playful: Every toy, leaf, stick, and dust bunny is his new best friend.

Smart: Too smart. Like “opens doors, solves puzzles, and may outwit you” smart.

Energetic: This boy has never known rest. He lives his life on turbo mode.

Social: Loves people, dogs, and anyone willing to appreciate his dramatic storytelling.

Double-Coated: He comes with his own year-round snowstorm. It’s fine. You’ll adjust.

Athletic: Rocket doesn’t walk—he launches. Cardio is now a lifestyle.

Ideal Home:
Rocket would definitely benefit from a household with Husky or northern-breed experience. You know… people who understand the language of dramatic sighs, sudden howls, escape artistry, and the daily battle between “I love you” and “Why are you like this?”

He’s looking for a family that:

Enjoys adventure

Appreciates a good challenge

Has a solid vacuum

Can laugh at chaos

Is ready to love a goofy, energetic, snowball of joy

If you’re ready to upgrade your life to Expert Level Husky Mode, Rocket is ready to blast off into your heart and maybe your yard.

Adopt Rocket today — your cardio program starts immediately!

The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, and are dewormed.
