Rocket's Story
Meet Rocket! Rocket is a nearly three-year-old, 56-pound pit bull mix who is ready to find a forever home of his own.<br/><br/>Though he was once found abandoned in a subway station, you would never guess it. Rocket is an incredibly loving, well-adjusted dog who clearly had stability and training in his past. He walks beautifully on leash and is both house-trained and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to the right home.<br/><br/>Rocket loves to play fetch and would thrive with an adopter who enjoys spending time outdoors. He's always up for long walks, park adventures, and active playtime, but he's just as happy to nap beside you during a long workday.<br/><br/>He is generally friendly with other dogs on leash and peacefully coexists with his foster's 25-pound senior dog. At home, Rocket is a total cuddle bug who enjoys relaxing near his people, whether that means sitting at your feet or curling up next to you for a nap. He does well in an apartment setting and will alert you when someone is at the door in a watchful, protective way-making him a great little guardian of his space.<br/><br/>Rocket would likely do best in a home with older children, as he can get a bit jumpy when excited and may accidentally knock over smaller kids. One of his most impressive traits is how comfortable he is in the city-he's calm, confident, and fantastic on the subway.<br/><br/>Rocket may be one of the luckiest dogs in the world, but whoever adopts him will be even luckier. He's ready for his next chapter-all he needs now is a home that will never let him get lost again.<br/><br/>Rocket is currently being fostered in Manhattan, NY. His adoption fee is $475.<br/><br/>To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt<br/><br/>All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. <br/><br/>For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. <br/><br/>We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
