About Rocket

Rocket is here with Sky’s Path to Home, and he's the sweetest boy you'll ever meet. At around 6-8 months old, he’s crate trained and potty trained, making him a great addition to any home. This medium-sized Border Collie mixed breed loves being around people and seeks affection. He gets along well with other dogs and shows curiosity towards cats. In his crate, Rocket is calm and quiet, settling in without making a sound. However, he's shown some signs of cowering when entering or exiting, which suggests he may have faced some negative experiences before. We’re working with him to help him understand that crating is a safe space. Rocket is also progressing in his leash training, although he can get quite excited, sometimes jumping up in his eagerness. With continued guidance, he'll manage to refine those manners. Scheduled to be neutered on October 8, Rocket is ready for a loving home that will cherish him back. He’s just waiting for someone to take him home and share affection, love, and companionship. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
