About Rocket

Meet Rocket, a unique mix that boasts the charming head of a Pittie atop the long body of a Basset Hound, all wrapped up in an adorable package. Weighing in at 40 pounds, this medium-sized guy may be low to the ground, but he has a personality as big as they come. At around 4-5 years old, Rocket is navigating recent changes after being returned to the shelter through no fault of his own. He can be a bit nervous in new surroundings, especially when meeting new people, but he’s treat-motivated and warms up quickly with some tasty snacks. His previous adopter reported that he's housebroken and enjoys his walks on a leash, excited to sniff and explore the world around him. Playtime is also a favorite, and he has a knack for having fun with toys! Rocket is best suited for homes with children aged 10 and older. He gets along well with other dogs, and a meet-and-greet would ensure a harmonious match for any existing pets. With the right introductions, he could also live with cats. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate companion, Rocket could be just the friend you need! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
