Websites such as Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet may not show all the information that we have listed. FOSTER PARENT COMMENTS: If you are looking for a dog to cuddle with and be at your side, Rocket is the dog for you. He adores people and loves to be held. You can carry him in your arms and he will be as content as can be. He is currently living with three other dogs who are all larger than he is and they all get along fine. He also gets along fine with cats. Rocket is housebroken and loves all people. He is not fond of his crate but we are working to make it a better experience. He may not do well if left for long periods of time so ideally, the perfect home for him would be one where people are home much of the time to give him the attention he wants. And to give that love right back to you:-)) He likes exercise but also is a very tiny couch potato! EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: When Rocket was destined to enter a shelter, a volunteer contacted BFPA immediately because they could not imagine this cute little guy being in a shelter. BFPA was able to quickly find a foster and he is now livin' the good life. But he is also looking for his forever home and wonders if your home could be his next and last home???
