Hi, My name is Rocket!

I am a Tan/White color, short-haired Male Whippet/Chihuahua Mix Dog. I am 3 years and weigh 25 lbs. I live in San Diego, CA.

I have been described as sheer joy on 4 legs! I am a sweet bundle of devotion. Smart, eager to please, very handsome and fun to be around. I love to snuggle, and enjoy playing, too! I am very enthusiastic and a great role model for the people in my home. I am always excited and eager to meet new people and have new experiences.

I have been fostered by a wonderful lady for the past several months. She took me in when my original owner could no longer care for me. She is hoping to find me a loving home where I will be cherished.

Here’s what she loves the most about me:

1) Rocket is well-mannered
2) He is always eager to give affection
3) He listens well
4) He has great energy
5) He is adaptable to new environments

Here’s what I am looking for in a new home:

• Someone who will be able to spend time with me. I am OK by myself during the day while you are at work, but please come home and snuggle and play with me after work and take me places on weekends.
• Someone who will treat me with the love, respect and care I need and deserve.
• Someone who will give me some exercise. I am a Whippet, after all!
• Someone who will love me unconditionally.
• Someone who will give me good nutrition, adequate exercise and play, and regular veterinary care.

Please offer me a home today. I am a great little guy and can’t wait to mesmerize you with my deep brown eyes!

Rocket’s Personality

1) Rocket is well-mannered
2) He is always eager to give affection
3) He listens well
4) He has great energy
5) He is adaptable to new environments

Rocket’s Current Home Environment

It’s a pretty quiet home. I work a full-time job, so the dog is home all day without supervision. When I am home, he likes to cuddle, take naps, and play fetch. He really loves seeing new people and dogs and gets excited with visitors.

Rocket’s Current Family:

I am single and live alone. The dog has had interactions with children before and is well-mannered with children.

Rocket’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?

Rocket loves to play with animal squeaky toys, balls, and most importantly, he tends to keep a treasured stuffed toy at a time. He likes to carry his stuffed toy everywhere in his mouth. He cuddles it, he plays with it, and he sleeps with it until it gets worn out and he gets a new stuffed toy!

Why is Rocket Being Rehomed?

I rescued Rocket from someone that couldn’t take care of him with the understanding that I would provide a safe, loving home until I could find a permanent home for him.

Rocket’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:

I would like to see Rocket in a home in which he has a safe, warm, healthy environment, with people that love him, play with him, and hold him. He has been exposed to children, but not a lot, so he may enjoy the energy of a youthful friend. He is well-mannered with children, so I’d like to see that if there is a child in the home that the child and Rocket get along well and become best friends.

Additional Comments:

I would like to stay in contact for a while in order to ensure a positive, happy transition for Rocket into his new family. He is a very adaptive dog, but I think a transition period will ease a potentially stressful event in his life.
