My story

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

This is Rocket - he’s a people pleaser who love companionship and attention. He’ll follow us around the house and lay at our feet when we’re home.

He’s been through training as a puppy though he needs continual practice and learning. He is a lover who has a silly smiley face. He is very loyal and eager to please.

He has a lot of energy and doesn’t know his own size / strength. He thinks he is the size of a lap dog and will love to cuddle up with you.

He’s not great with all other dogs or people. Proper introduction is needed as he is very protective of his family / home (he can bite them as he is a protector).
He may take time to adjust but is a lover once done so.

When on walks, he sometimes bites us while out of excitement / overwhelmed when he sees other dogs / people on the street.

We have other male dogs in the house and it is obvious that he is trying to claim dominance.

He is a great dog but is in need of an owner that can give him time, training, love and patience.
