Rocket

Hey, I’m Rocket! 🚀
Yeah, the name fits. I’m 8 years young, but if you think that means I’m slowing down—you’ve got another thing coming! I’ve got the energy of a puppy, the smarts of a genius (if I do say so myself), and the heart of a dog who’s just looking for his perfect match.

My past? Honestly, it’s a little blurry. I came from a rescue in Northern California, landed at Sammy’s Friends, and then found my way here. It’s been a journey, but I’ve never let it dull my sparkle. I’m a bounce-back kind of guy—no matter what life throws at me, I just keep chasing after happiness (and tennis balls... lots of tennis balls 🎾).

If you’ve got toys and treats, we’re already halfway to being best friends. I’m super food- and toy-motivated, which means I’m always up for learning new things if there’s a reward involved. Want a dog who can keep up with your adventures and crash on the couch afterward? I’m your guy.

The one thing I ask? Please don’t make me share my tennis balls or my dinner. I mean, come on. Some things are sacred.

I’m ready for my forever family—a place where I can run, play, and finally settle down with people who see me for the unstoppable, loyal, fun-loving adventurer I am.

Think we could launch into a new life together? 🚀
