Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rocket! This speed hound transferred to us from Orange County Animal Care!
A past adopter of ours was enjoying an outing with her pup at an Orange County dog park when they found that Rocket had been abandoned there. Orange County Animal Control came out and confirmed he was abandoned before sending him to their local shelter. After his stray hold was up, with no one coming to claim him, we transferred Rocket directly into a foster home!
Rocket is such a speedy boy who loves to wrestle and race around with the most active pups in his foster home. His foster home is filled with 5 dogs, one other foster dog (Penny), and 4 cats.
Rocket is an intelligent, highly active, playful, and curious velcro dog who would love nothing more than to find his forever home!
Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
