ROCKET needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him get a new start?

BEAUTIFUL BOY!

Since arriving in foster care I have advanced by leaps and bounds!!  My foster Mom works from home and has made it her mission to break down the communication barrier!  Since I am always eager to please, love treats and attention, learning has been a very positive experience for me.  It is exciting to be able to interact in a way that totally pleases my person!

I may be deaf but it does not hamper me from being 100% boxer pup through and through!  Deafies like me get placed successfully in adoptive homes all the time.  It can help with training if there is a hearing dog in the home and it does make life less solitary for a hearing impaired pup.

So far I have learned to understand sign for: outside, leave it, sit, down, off, no, food, water, and watch me.  WOWSA  I know a whole lot more than many of my 'hearing' counterparts!  That last one 'watch me' is VERY critical because if I didn't know what that was, it would be difficult for me to learn new things.  But as you can tell by my accomplishments, there is NOTHING wrong with my brain!  I am smart as a whip!

I am totally house and crate trained!  I get along perfectly with my three female foster sisters.  So far I've not been cat or kid tested but there is no reason to think I would not do well with children if my family stays consistent with the things I have learned.  I love my yellow tennis ball and will play fetch until one or both of us drops.  What can I say?  I am a dedicated guy!

Have you checked out my VIDEO?  I really like water so when my foster Mom set the sprikler out in the yard, I hijacked it to the patio so I could play!  Then the darned thing got stuck under the chair!  Rats!  But I still managed to have a good time!

The sky is the limit for a fast learner like me!  I'm a naturally curious, playful, and trusting canine.  Please look into my eyes, open your heart, and give me a chance to show you what a wonderful boy I am!
