Hi, my name is Rocket! (ᵔᴥᵔ) I’m a 1-year-old pit bull mix and a sweet, affectionate girl who loves crawling into your lap and giving kisses! I love playing with other dogs, though my interactions with cats are still unknown. I walk great on a leash and already know lots of commands, including sit, shake, spin, roll over, and lie down! I’m very food motivated and eager to learn. My foster mom says I sometimes look like Dobby with my big floppy ears! I also love playing with toys and am happy to entertain myself while you work at your desk. I make a great travel companion! I love car rides and will happily sit by your side when we're out in public. I'd do great in a home with other playful dogs and when my foster mom goes to class, I happily settle into my crate, especially when there's a treat involved! I prefer slow introductions to new people and may bark when I need a little space. But with patience, gentle approaches, and a few treats, I warm up easily and will reward you with plenty of affection. If you’re looking for a playful, smart, and loyal companion who will fill your days with love, laughter, and plenty of kisses, I might just be your girl! Much Love, Rocket

German Shepherd

🧠 Temperament

(ᵔᴥᵔ) I’m a 1-year-old pit bull mix and a sweet, affectionate girl who loves crawling into your lap and giving kisses!. Confident, highly trainable and deeply loyal, bred to work all day alongside a handler.

🎾 Exercise

I walk great on a leash and already know lots of commands, including sit, shake, spin, roll over, and lie down!. High — 60-90+ minutes daily plus a job to do.

✂️ Grooming

Heavy double-coat shedding year-round with two big blowouts a year. Brush several times a week.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

I'd do great in a home with other playful dogs and when my foster mom goes to class, I happily settle into my crate, especially when there's a treat…. Demanding in an apartment: large, vocal and often reactive to the constant stimulus of a city street.
