About Rocket
Rocket is currently fostered with a marathon runner and is the fittest he's ever been. He's brilliant at agility and obedience and wants nothing more than to be with his person, all the time, everywhere.
The home he's hoping for
An active, experienced owner who's home a lot or can bring him along. A big yard and dog sports would make his life.
“Will follow you to the bathroom. Struggles badly when left alone for long stretches.”
