About Rocket

Meet Rocket, an outgoing and energetic 2-year-old brindle Pit Bull mix looking for his forever home. He’s not currently with us but we’re working hard to help him find a loving family. Rocket has a vibrant personality and a heart to match. This neutered boy loves to jump around, play, and is incredibly food motivated. Although he enjoys long walks, he’s quite possibly the world’s biggest snuggle bug—he prefers to be either right beside you or even on top of you while cuddling. A few things to keep in mind: Rocket would thrive as the only dog in a home, though introductions to a female dog could work if handled carefully. He does best in homes without very young children, as he can get overly excited and jump, not realizing his size. With a strong prey drive, Rocket loves chasing small creatures, and it’s best to keep him on a leash during outings. Despite his past experiences, Rocket is a wonderful companion who will always keep you company and fill your life with joy. He needs someone who can provide him with a stable environment where he can thrive and receive all the love he deserves. His journey awaits, and he can’t wait to meet his new family.
