You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. // Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $500 plus taxWould you like to know a little bit about me? I'm Rocket. I fly like one, too! My favorite thing to do is be cuddled day and night, night and day. After that, my next favorite thing to do is work. Walks, yes, please! But if you have an actual job for me such as keeping watch on your farm, your large yard, or simply want to teach me oodles of awesome tricks, I'm your boy! I've been told I have an 'old soul'. Did I mention I love cuddles? I am very intelligent and intuitive. What I am looking for in an owner: a sidekick, a ride or die friend for life, someone who will make me their number one dog, loyalty, gentleness, and understanding. I've tried living in a home with my litter mate(s). Look, other dogs are great - I won't hurt them - but I prefer being the only dog in your life. I like to butt out the competition to make room for myself, you see. And I'm very good at it, to boot. Cats are fine. Chasing them is fun but I promise I won't eat them. Kids, you ask? Oh!! All the kids all the time, please! I adore kids! I'll help you out; I won't even let them put their fingers in my mouth and naturally, it would never ever cross my mind to bite your children! I am extra gentle and sweet. Do you like to talk? Me, too!! I bark mostly when I go outside. You know, just doing you a favor by clearing the way vocally. But when I said I like to talk, I literally meant 'talk'. I make all kinds of words with all kinds of intonations which are not barks at all. Did I mention I'm smart? Sometimes I want my toy back and I'm asking you to get it for me, please. Sometimes, I would like your undivided attention. Sometimes, I'm hungry. And sometimes I talk back. (Shhh, don't tell my foster mom that I caught on to the fact that she adores that about me.) What am I growing in? Sitting down when people enter the house rather than jumping on them to say hello, not barking so long when I go outside, and not pulling on the leash when I go for walks. I am still a puppy so I am making excellent progress, if you ask me! What do I know already? I come when called, I sit, stay, and I used to heel on a leash but my foster mom let that one go (sarcastic fist-bump goes here), I understand the command 'off' (see above). Imagine this, we're relaxing on the couch snuggling, because that's what we do. You want to take a ride and bring me along because I'm good like that. Or perhaps we're playing with the kids and I flop on the floor beside you both/all and simply enjoy being a part of the hog pile. You need to step away and know that I can be trusted to be gentle with your children even though we were just getting worked up while playing. Oh! My fur is curly! Yep, I'm an American Eskimo with curly fur! That makes me even more rare! Though my fur looks as though it might be wiry - it is not. All of my fluff is as soft as a baby's new microfiber blanket! I'm pretty special! Would you like to meet me?
