About Rocket

Rocket is a vibrant Hound mix who's about a year and a half old. This sweet gentleman showed up on someone's property and quickly won hearts, especially after he was taken in with his sibling. While his sibling has since been rehomed, Rocket is now ready for a loving family of his own. He's friendly with everyone and enjoys the company of both other dogs and cats, although he might chase the latter just for fun. Rocket is playful and loves attention, always wanting to be the center of it all. He's a great walker and does well indoors, showing off his affectionate side with kisses and hugs. Fully vetted and house trained, Rocket is all set for his new home. Will you welcome this cuddly companion into your family? Adoption fee is $125. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
