Rocket – ADOPTED!!

Posted Jul 12, 2015 at 6:34 am in Latest News

DSCN0410ADOPTED!!  Meet the Rocket Man!  Rocket came into ResQ from a shelter in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, along with two other rat terriers.  We think he is about 2 years old, and weighs 14 or 15 pounds, the perfect lap size!  Rocket is crate trained, and housebroken with a doggie door.  Someone took some time with him, because he knows how to use a doggy door, and is excellent with multiple dogs, both large and small.  He is friendly to strangers, and walks like a pro on a leash.  Rocket knows “sit” and other basic commands.  He will even spin in circles upon command, especially for a yummy treat!  Rocket was very well socialized, so it’s hard to understand why he ended up homeless at a kill shelter.  Rocket loves to be held, and will come happily when you call him, wagging his tail off.  His foster family reports they have found no issues or red flags with this happy boy, and he is ready to find his permanent home.  We think he would be fine with children, but we have not tested him with kids.  Also, his willingness to coexist with a cat is unknown at this time.  This little guy is sure to make some family very happy!  For more photos of Rocket in his foster home, click on his album:

    Hello,

    We are interested in Rocket. 3 young boys so need to know he’s good with kids. Also, any tendencies to run away, dig out or chew stuff up in the house? We live in northwest Florida with a nice backyard. Please tell us all you can about him. Also, we are still getting settled from moving from Germany so could be several weeks or more before we’re ready to take a dog.

    Thanks
    Bob

    I am guessing Rocket is still available and the people interested in August didn’t adopt him?

    I am interested in Rocket. Our 15 year old rat terrier died and our hound is lonely….. And so are we. We live on a country road in Quitman, AR.
