After he got a treat he so desired, Rocket landed on his haunches and wore a big smile on his face! So be reassured, this dog knows how to show gratitude!
Although he loves people, Rocket needs a home with no small children. It's unknown whether he'd get along with other dogs -- or cats.
If you're interested in adopting Rocket, please stop by Animal Control or call 203-783-3279. Monetary and pet-food donations -- particularly cat food -- are also welcome.
