ockette is an 8 week old Beagle/Hound mix with a sweet heart, soft ears, and enough puppy energy to light up a room. Rescued from the shelter at only six weeks old, she has settled beautifully into her foster home and is now ready to charm her way into her forever family.

Daily Routine

Rockette sleeps comfortably in her x-pen at night, complete with soft bedding and pee pads. She’s usually up around 7:00 am, politely whining to let her foster family know she’s ready for breakfast and a potty break. She’s a hearty eater, so she gets her meal right after she relieves herself— usually within minutes of finishing her food. When the weather cooperates, Rockette enjoys backyard playtime with the family’s larger dogs; otherwise, she hangs out in her x-pen or cuddles in her foster’s puppy sling. She eats again around 1:00 pm and has her final meal around 6:00 pm, enjoying a mix of kibble and canned food.

Personality

Rockette is energetic, curious, and loves being part of the action. She warms up instantly to people and dogs, happily staying close, being held, and soaking up attention. Though affectionate, she’s not overly clingy—she likes to explore her surroundings before circling back for company. She adores running around with the family’s 40-lb pup and has a natural enthusiasm for play.

Dog Interactions

Confident and outgoing, Rockette doesn’t shy away from dogs of any size. She plays wonderfully with the resident golden doodle puppy and would likely do well with new canine friends. She hasn’t been exposed to cats or kids yet, but her sweet nature suggests she would adapt well, especially in a home with children old enough to understand normal puppy mouthing.

Playfulness

This little hound mix is happiest when she’s playing—whether it’s with people, puppies, or a fun toy. She loves games, exploration, and puppy antics, and when she’s finally tired, she’ll curl up on the couch for a cozy nap. Her favorite moments are enticing the big dogs to play by jumping up to nibble their mouths, tugging on tails, or sprinting away in a burst of enthusiasm. She’s a true energizer bunny who suddenly plops into sleep once she’s gotten her fill.

Behavior

So far, Rockette hasn’t shown any signs of nuisance barking. She is, however, very much a puppy— teething, chewing, and occasionally digging as she burns off energy. Chew toys help redirect her, and her foster home expects her digging habits to fade as she gets older and begins going on walks. With her curiosity and energy level, she will likely enjoy exploring the world on leash once she’s old enough.

Ideal Home

Rockette would thrive in a home with another playful dog but would also do well as an only pup in a household ready to provide plenty of activity and engagement. She’d likely enjoy kids who understand what to expect from a young puppy and can interact gently with her. Rockette will make a wonderful match for someone who loves to stay active—hiking, running, or simply enjoying time outside.

Why You’ll Love Her

Rockette is irresistibly sweet, endlessly entertaining, and loves giving kisses. Her silky-soft ears, expressive face, and joyful spirit make her a delight to be around. She’s a loving, lively companion who is ready to grow into an incredible family dog.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Rockette is ready to meet you.
