Rocket

Meet Rocket <br/><br/>Rocket is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog whose world was turned upside down due to an unfortunate and heartbreaking situation. He didn't lose his home because he wasn't loved or wanted-in fact, quite the opposite. Rocket had a family, a kid who adored him, and a home where he was clearly cherished.<br/><br/>During a child's birthday party, with lots of extra kids running around (as kids do), Rocket handled the excitement well for quite some time. But as a herding breed, his instincts eventually kicked in. In an attempt to regain control of the chaos, Rocket nipped a child on the back of the leg. While the situation was resolved and no lasting harm was done, the landlord ultimately decided Rocket could no longer stay in the home. His kid was devastated, and Rocket didn't understand why everything suddenly changed.<br/><br/>The transition has been very hard on him. He's still adjusting to the shelter environment, which is a far cry from the life he knew. Even so, we are more than willing to be a character witness for Rocket-because this boy is good.<br/><br/>Rocket is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He seeks out human attention and leans into love, making it very clear that he's been well cared for and deeply bonded to his people. We were told he is house trained, has lived with kids his whole life, does okay with cats, and has had doggie friends in the past.<br/><br/>Rocket would thrive in a home that understands and respects herding breed instincts-one that can provide structure, guidance, and appropriate outlets for his intelligence and energy. With the right environment and expectations, Rocket has so much love and loyalty to give.<br/><br/>This wasn't a bad dog situation. This was a heartbreaking circumstance. Rocket deserves a second chance at the stable, understanding home he so desperately misses.
