Meet Rocket
Rocket – Gentle, Sensitive, and Sweet Rocket is an adult Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 71 pounds. Despite his name, this handsome boy is a quiet, sensitive soul who prefers to take a wee bit of time getting comfortable with new people and surroundings. A gentle walking companion: Rocket trots along nicely beside you with very little pulling, making him a pleasant partner for relaxed walks. Sweet once he settles in: After getting comfortable, Rocket alternates between exploring and coming back to his person for treats and gentle pets, gradually revealing his affectionate side. Exceptionally gentle: He takes treats very politely and sometimes responds to “sit.” He enjoys quiet connection and seems happiest when given the time and space to build trust. Sensitive and observant: Rocket notices sounds and activity around him and may be startled by crowds or very barky dogs, but settles nicely with calm, reassuring vocal engagement. Rocket would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with appropriate dog friends.
