Meet Tyke! Tyke is an adorable one year-old Basenji mix; he weighs 13 lbs. Tyke was found on the street in Oakland by a good Samaritan who immediately called us for help. Unfortunately, an owner could not be found so we didn’t hesitate to make him a Rocket Dog!
Tyke has a lot of energy and can handle lots of exercise so if you’re active and are looking for someone to be by your side, Tyke is ready to oblige! Thanks to the help of one of our volunteers, Tyke has become very good on leash. He stayed with the volunteer and got along well with his resident pittie. Tyke still has some puppy behavior, like being a little mouthy and chewing, so he could really benefit from some training. Rocket Dog always recommends formal training with new pups, as this forms a bond between you and your new family member.
Tyke is a lover and wants nothing more than to sit on your lap. Fortunately, he’s small enough to pick up and cradle. This guy is sure to give lots of love! If you’d like to learn more about Tyke, please fill out an application and a volunteer will contact you. (MM)
