August 23rd
male, medium, young
DESCRIPTION
This is Rocket! Approx. 2 year old Husky / Afghan Hound mix.
He is a very smart and energetic boy. Would do well in a home with other dogs and cats but probably not young children. He's in training, but he's an active guy. He could possibly knock littles over. He does know his name and several commands / tricks.
He is very sweet and cuddly and loves people and attention. He would love to snuggle up with you!
He is currently up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, on Nexgard Plus monthly and he is neutered.
He does pretty well on walks, does good in the bathtub, likes to play and chase tennis balls but does need to always be on a leash or in a fenced yard as he is a runner.
We have multiple toys, bowls, treats and a crate, that he does well in, but he would definitely benefit from a bigger one!
