Rocket

My story

It's Rocket here, reporting for duty! I'm ready to steal your heart and snag my rightful spot on your couch.I may be 11, but don’t go calling me grandpaw just yet. I’ve still got some serious wiggle in my walk and pep in my paws. At 17 lbs, I’m technically a lap dog… just with a little extra love around the middle. What can I say? I enjoy a good treat or two!I’m a polite dude with other dogs — no drama, no weird vibes. Just a quick “hello,” and I’m off to sniff more important things. With humans? Oh, I’m ALL in. You sit, I sit. You nap, I nap. You go to the kitchen? I’m already there.Now, about cats...they aren't exactly my jam. With skittish ones, I just can’t help but stare. And stalk. And maybe chase. That means confident cats only, please! I need a cat who’ll put me in my place with a little sass.Gotta crate me while you’re out? No biggie! I’ll just curl up and catch some Z’s ‘til you’re home.I'm just looking for a couch snuggle, a walking buddy, a best friend, and someone to tell me I’m handsome...spoiler... I am!So what do you say — wanna make an incredibly charming senior your new best friend?To have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport (dogs only), please visit our website.https://longwayhome.org/apply ❤ Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds.
