My story

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

Rocket is a sweet Schnauzer mix that we rescued back in 2015 as a puppy - he will turn 10 years old this year.

He loves to cuddle with us, and is mainly just a chill guy who wants to hang out and is fine doing nothing. He enjoys being outside, but everything he does he enjoys more when he’s near his adult humans. He loves to be with us.

We recently had a child who is now a walking toddler, and for whatever reason, Rocket has not adjusted well to that and has shown to be defensive and aggressive towards him. He has not bitten him, but has growled and made advancements towards him - enough to make us concerned that we don’t want to risk anything.

We have made the difficult decision to try to re-home. We want the best situation for all of us, and we think Rocket deserves to be in a home where he can get more attention and be put in less stressful situations (we are recommending a home without small children). Our house is just a little crazy now.
