Echo

Husky Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 5 yrs 9 mos

Oakland, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Echo is a chill, smart and loving dog that settled in quickly and smoothly into his foster home. Highly trainable, and polite on a leash, he catches on quite quickly to instructions and loves his structure. He enjoys a typical day playing and socializing, having a blast on his multiple daily walks, and cuddling up at night on the couch. He is a homebody at night, and oh boy he loves his outings during the day. Echo loves to run! His foster sibling can attest to the fact that he is comfortable with other dogs and would make a fantastic doggy sibling. He is not particularly fond of toys or bones, but he sure loves his food! He must have some awesome doggy dreams because he sleeps like an angel. He thrives with patient, caring people who are comfortable going slow with his physical space, so he'd be best-suited with older, dog-savvy kids. (He warmed up fast in his patient and caring foster home.) He prefers to be with people than to be alone, so he’ll be one happy boy if he gets to be your working buddy! Echo (51 pounds) will be the happiest dog in a home that can provide patience, continued socialization and training, and lots of exercise with plenty of love thrown in. Could you be that family? Apply to adopt Echo today! (SG)

Loki (bonded with Quinn)

Husky Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 5 yrs

Oakland, CA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Story

Loki is a 4 year old husky mix who came to Rocket Dog after his owner passed away. Loki has been living with his friend Quinn. They rely on each other for comfort and companionship, and must be adopted together. These dogs are typical huskies - active, energetic, vocal, and playful - but they have great training and would adapt well to a home environment. They would do best in a home who has experience with huskies or has done the necessary research and prepared themselves for caring for these special dogs. Loki is an extra-large guy and does need to lose some weight. He currently weighs in at around 110 pounds.

Napa

Male, 1 yr 4 mos

Oakland, CA

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Napa is a cute little 15 lb chihuahua mix ready for his forever home. Still a puppy in many ways, Napa is a little nervous at first, but warms up quickly with some love and patience. Napa's foster says that once he warms up, he has a total puppy personality and loves to play. He does well with two long walks or three short walks per day. He is mostly house trained, and making excellent progress on crate training and leash training. He loves other dogs and seems like he'd be fine with cats.

Butterscotch

Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 5 mos

Oakland, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

This large-breed puppy is currently in foster care and just beginning her journey into all things puppy. Butterscotch is curious, learning about the world, and soaking up new experiences every day. She will need continued house training, leash training, and crate training, along with ongoing positive socialization to help her grow into a confident adult. Like most large-breed dogs, she’ll require daily exercise, structure, and mental enrichment, with increasing activity as he matures. Adopters should be ready for the time, patience, and lifelong commitment that come with raising a puppy — especially one who will grow into a big dog. In return, you’ll get the chance to shape a wonderful companion from the very beginning. Estimated adult weight is about 70 pounds, no guarantees.
