My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Single, lonely and searching for his perfect match. Rocket is a seven year old Coonhound mix recovering from a traumatic past. Sadly he lost his trust in people but not his love for people. Rocket loves everyone and gets very excited when meeting people or seeing his favorite human friends. He has a fear of "harsh corrections". Sometimes just the word "no" makes him nervous, though he is getting better. He is scared of being "dragged" by his collar and can be apprehensive about anyone putting one on, but does walk very well on a leash. He is housebroken, crate trained, and very obedient, always wanting to learn new tricks and skills. He loves to run in the backyard and enjoys playing with Frisbees, tennis balls, or his giant ball he can push around. Rocket is seeking an adult only home where he longs for the day he feels safe and loved, watching TV while chewing on his favorite Nylabone. For an appointment to meet Rocket, please submit an adoption application (no commitment) at Satchelslastresort.org.

More about this rescue

Satchel's Last Resort is a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary whose mission is to Rescue, Rehab and Rehome dogs and cats with nowhere else to go because of breed, behavior or medical issues.

Each resident that comes to Satchel’s has its own unique and personal history. We get to know each one individually – favorite toy, favorite game, favorite foods. The dogs are housed in an airy shelter with spacious kennels, take three or four romps in the playard or walks per day, and even take car rides to let their fur flap in the wind. Cats are housed in two open cat room settings and receive social interaction with staff and volunteers every day. Most important to us -- we keep our dogs and cats safe from other residents and from humans who may want to harm them.

Trainers work with the dogs a few times a week to teach them that they can trust humans and other animals. Staff and volunteers work with our cats to keep them socialized or help them learn to trust again. We actively seek forever homes tailored to the needs of every individual pet so that they can live the rest of their lives among a family of their own.

At Satchel’s Last Resort, we believe that by harnessing the unconditional love that the dogs and cats in our sanctuary put forth everyday, the world becomes a brighter place for animals and people. Each and everyday we try to give a little of their love back – back to the pets and back to our community.
