Rocket is a 2-year-old, brown brindle Pit Bull Terrier mix with a spunky personality and a lot of energy. He enjoys going on walks and spending as much time outside as possible. While at the shelter, he has participated in play groups with other dogs, so if you have a playful dog at home, Rocket might be a good addition to the pack. As active as he is, he also enjoys affection and will compliment you with kisses in between sprints. Rocket would do best in an active household where he could go on lots of walks or runs and then cuddle up with his favorite people and relax.
