Description:
Rocket is a great little guy who is great with larger confident dogs or a cat that will give him a swat when needed. Rocket loves any attention he can get, but does prefer female company over male if he has a choice! Rocket has a strong personality and needs a strong pack leader to set boundaries for him. If he is told no or is given a corrective sound he will immediately stop what he is doing. He is learning sit, drop it and stay. As a younger dog, Rocket is active and loves to play! He does well with other dogs, but does tend to try and be in charge of the pack. He loves to chew harder chew toys and bones. Rocket loves sleeping in his foster mom and dad’s bed, but also is fine with a big dog bed in his own space. He does show some separation anxiety in new situations, but once he trusts his people that does get better. Rocket does not do well in a small contained area such as a kennel. Rocket is 100% house trained! Rocket travels well in a car and loves to go to his foster mom and dad’s camper. Rocket does have a voice and enjoys using it. He would do better in a single dwelling home. He is an amazing snuggler where he will put his soft face into your neck, lay on your lap or up against you. He loves his belly rubbed and will place a few kisses when he wants to show you he loves you. Rocket has a unique red merle coat and gorgeous eyes that look gray, green or blue in certain lights! Don't be surprised if everyone stops you on walks to meet him! He will be a fantastic companion to a Chi loving home.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
