Rocket - Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Festus, Missouri

Say hello to Rocket from the Fireworks Litter! Rocket and his siblings were born on the 4th of July and he is ready to blast into your life!
Rocket is everything that puppies should be- he is silly and smart and ready to play! Rocket wakes up in a good mood and falls asleep in a good mood, he's a happy go lucky boy! He loves belly rubs and laying at your feet (sometimes to chew on your shoes, lol, but mostly because he wants to be near). He is confident and up for any type of adventure.
Rocket will likely be a nice medium size when he's full grown. His momma is about 40 pounds and looks to be a Shepherd mix. As is often the case, his dad forgot to leave his calling card.
Puppies under 4 months old need to be let out at least every 4 hours during the day to be successful with potty training. Rocket is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations and preventatives. This sweet little guy is ready to sour into your heart!
