About Rocket

Rocket is an 8-year-old pointer mix with a lot of heart and even more energy. He wakes up every day ready for action—whether that's hiking, chasing a ball, or sprinting across the yard. Once you've got treats in hand, Rocket is quick to bond and easy to train, always eager to work for a reward. Loyal to his core, he sticks close to his people and thrives on routine and attention. Rocket gets along great with other dogs and is genuinely good with children, making him a lively companion for most family setups. He's house trained and enjoys a good balance between being out and about and relaxing inside after a busy day. One thing to note: Rocket has a strong prey drive so homes with cats or small animals won't be the right fit—he's simply too interested in chasing. An active household with a securely fenced yard will make Rocket happiest, especially someone who values exercise and wants a true adventure partner. Vaccinations are up to date, and as a neutered male, Rocket is ready to go. He's currently fostered in Cashmere, WA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
