About Rocket

Rocket is a 1-year-old small Spaniel mix with long hair, rescued from a tough situation after being returned to a shelter for kennel cough. He now weighs about 12 pounds and is adjusting well in his foster home. At first, Rocket can seem guarded and cautious, especially around unfamiliar faces, but once trust is established, he reveals his affectionate, loyal side. He thrives on companionship—he’s happiest curled up on a lap or hanging out with other friendly dogs after a proper introduction. Rocket does best in an adult-only household experienced with sensitive dogs, ideally in a single-family home or somewhere he has company, as he can be vocal when left alone. Out on walks, he’s up for adventure, but sometimes needs guidance to stay confident around new stimuli. With patience and structure, Rocket will settle in as a loyal sidekick ready for both activity and quiet time at home. He’s up to date on core vaccinations, neutered, and getting ready for a new chapter in Bothell, WA. He’ll be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area after arriving and being evaluated in foster care. Start your journey together! Apply now.
