About Rocket

Rocket is a cautious little girl weighing just 9 pounds. She arrived at Boxers and Buddies after her owner could no longer care for her, along with her family. When meeting new people, Rocket is quite shy and will need time to feel comfortable and learn to trust. She’s gradually exploring the backyard but often retreats under a chair when things feel overwhelming. Rocket isn’t a grab-and-go kind of dog; she needs a family who understands that building trust takes time. Patience is key, and once she feels safe, her sweet personality will start to shine. Rocket is likely to do well with other dogs who are respectful of her space. A calm canine companion could help her gain confidence and discover that new experiences can be enjoyable. She needs a patient family that can provide the encouragement she requires. What’s important is that she may take some time to find her confidence, but her journey will certainly be worth the wait. Professional training from a certified trainer is required for all adoptions. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
