Adopt Rocket

Border Collie · Male · Young · 3 years

Rocket is a 2-year-old Border Collie crossbreed seeking an adult-only home as the only pet. This friendly, loving boy enjoys human company and adventures but finds meeting other dogs overwhelming, requiring quieter walking locations. He has an infectious, goofy personality that makes everyone smile. Rocket needs an active household with a secure outdoor space and owners who can be home initially while he adjusts. Multiple pre-adoption meetings at the rehoming center are required, where training tips will be provided for his successful transition to his new forever home.

Rocket loves to spend time with people and is a very friendly, loving boy. He loves to receive all the fuss, there is plenty of him to go around!

Rocket has an infectious personality that leaves everyone smiling, his goofy ways and funny antics will make him such a great addition to his new home. If you think that Rocket could be your perfect match, please complete an adoption application and include him as a ‘Favourite’ dog. Thank you! This lovely lad is Rocket, a 2-year-old Crossbreed with so much to offer his new, forever home. Rocket has been working very hard to get ready for his fresh start, and he can’t wait to show you what an amazing boy he is! He will need multiple meets here at the Rehoming Centre prior to adoption so that the training team can offer all the tips and tricks for introducing Rocket to his new life. Rocket is best suited as the only pet, and he will need an active, adult only household that most importantly love to have fun! A secure outdoor space would be amazing for him to run around, play and sniff during the day. His adopters should also be able to be at home with him at the beginning, and until leaving time can be gradually increased.
