Hello! My name is Kaige. I am a 2 year old, 65lb Pitbull mix. I’ve been a resident at the Rocket Dog Rescue Sanctuary for over 6 months. I love my volunteer friends and they love me, but I would really like to find my forever home soon. They keep telling me they don’t know why I haven’t been adopted yet. I obviously have stunning good looks and a beaming personality! I’m told that my people are out there somewhere so I’ll keep being a patient good boy. Hopefully they’ll have a whole basket of toys waiting for me! I love toys!
I’d do best with an active outdoorsy family that can take me on daily hikes and walks, 1-2 hours minimum per day. I have the energy for it and I love a good long adventure. The volunteers that walk me say that I’m pretty good on leash considering how strong I am. I can sometimes get riled up if a dog is barking at me but they say I am easily redirected, especially if you have treats. I like treats!
Despite some mild leash frustration, I am actually super dog friendly. I really love to play! I have had tons of playmates at the sanctuary. Male dogs, female dogs, puppies, you name it. Since I’ve been at the sanctuary for so long my playmates change every couple weeks. I’d do well living with another dog but if I’m the only dog I’ll at least need the opportunity to make doggy friends to play with on a regular basis.
I really love people! It would be awesome to find a home where I don’t have to spend to much time alone, especially in the beginning. I’ve been living in a kennel for a long time so it could take me several weeks or even months to fully adjust to living in a house. I wouldn’t do well being left home alone for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Someone who works from home would be great or even a living situation with roommates might be good for me, that way there are lots of people around to hang out with me. A home with kids over 8 would be okay. Little kids might get knocked down by my excited wiggly butt.
I know a few basic commands like ‘sit’ & ‘down’. I definitely have a lot to learn but I’m eager to do so. Anything for food really! I’ll need someone with the time and patience to teach me all the things to be the best boy I can be. Preferably an experienced dog owner as I may be to challenging for a first time dog owner.
Are you the one I’ve been waiting for?! I sure can’t wait to meet you. Please submit an application and my advocate will be in touch.

Kaige would love a foster home!
