Rocket has been adopted! 05-17-2014

Male German Shepherd Dog about 1-2 years old. Good with kids. Gets along with other dogs.

Rocket is one giant teddy bear! He was quite scared when he first came to our rescue, but he's learning to trust everyone around him and opening up to all of the new things he's experiencing. He loves going for outings and walks well on a leash. He likes to check in with you, glancing up to see how you're doing, and likes to give kisses. Rocket has the most piercing brown eyes and his smiles will put you in a great mood every time you see them!

We think Rocket would do fine with somewhat older children, as long as they don't rush him. He can be scared of new and fast moving things, but, if you approach him slowly (or with a treat), he's your new best friend.

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
