Story
Dog Name: Rocket Breed: Maltese mix Sex: Male Age: 8 Weight: 20 Medical Needs: Totally blind and partially deaf Housebroken: Yes. He will come and find you when he needs to go and walk between you and the door to get your attention. Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: Yes Energy level: Low Need a fenced in yard: No Dog Friendly: Yes, but prefers them on the calm side. Being trampled is no fun for a little guy. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Unknown Kid Friendly: Yes. He's enjoyed every kid he has met so far. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any with appropriate supervision. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Rocket is a friendly, calm senior who has a lot of love to give. Don't let his age or the fact that he's totally blind fool you. He learned the lay of the land in his foster home in less than 2 days. He does still struggle getting up and down the steps without guidance, but he's happy to be carried anywhere at anytime, or will follow along on a leash just fine. He has no trouble getting on and off the couch though. He's a quiet guy, usually only barking if he needs to go potty or if another dog startles him. He's not afraid to tell them to back off either, so if you have a reactive dog in the home already, Rocket wouldn't be a good fit. Fosters Location: Dover Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app. ##2085949##
