About Rocket

Rocket isn't asking for much. He just wants a home again. At 7 years old, Rocket finds himself in need of a family due to his owner's move overseas. This change has turned his world upside down, and now he's in a shelter filled with unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells. Rocket loves head pets and enjoys soaking up affection, although he prefers not to be held. It's clear he knows what he likes, and that makes him all the more charming. He deserves a cozy spot to nap and someone to love him for the rest of his days. Don't let Rocket spend his golden years in a shelter. He didn't lose his home through any fault of his own. He simply needs someone ready to open their heart and home to him. Can you be Rocket's fresh start?
