Meet Howie, our favorite short-legged goofball! If Rocket Dog Rescue had a yearbook, Howie’s superlative would be class clown. While he won’t be winning any awards for speed or agility, he’ll charm you with his sweet and playful personality. People often stop to tell him how cute he is, and kids love to pet him. He’s more than happy to soak it all up! Nothing fazes this easygoing boy, not skateboards, bikes, strollers or squirrels. When he’s excited, he’ll occasionally try to give you a bear hug and definitely a few kisses — he just can’t contain his love! He believes he was destined to be a lap dog, and he enjoys nothing more than a good cuddle session and belly rub.
Howie is a polite young gentleman. He’s 1-2 years old and a compact 50 lbs. He’s just as happy to go for a walk in the park as he is to accompany you on a jaunt around town. He is cordial when meeting other dogs but would prefer to be the only pooch in the home. Howie is committed to continuing his training (with lots of treats, please!). He’s currently learning to “sit” and would love for his new humans to keep teaching him new manners! He wants to be the best representative of his breed possible.
Think Howie could be a match? He sure hopes so! Fill out an application and a volunteer will contact you soon (AS/EC)
