*Rocket would LOVE a new home or foster home. Please consider being a foster mom and dad to a pet in need. It is a very rewarding experience.*
Meet Mr. Rocket. Rocket is a wonderful 2 year old Purebred Great Dane - DOB 5/28/08. He weighs approximately 135lbs, but is skinny and should gain probably about 30+ pounds. He stands about 34-35 inches at the withers. Rocket is a true Great Dane in size and demeanor. He has spent the better part of his life living in an outdoor kennel and ignored. He was so happy to get attention from his foster mom, when she picked him up. Rocket has lived with cats, other dogs, and chihuahuas. When he first arrived he did not seem to have any manners, but after about an hour he knows down and off. He is a smart boy that is learning very quickly how to be a member of a family in the home. Rocket is a lover, he wants love and attention. He thinks he wants to be a lap boy.
Rocket is doing fantastically. He now knows sit, down, off, leave it, shake, sit up, and come. He is trauly doing fantastic in his foster home. Rocket likes to play with his foster sister and does fine with other dogs. He really wants to play, but the other dogs seem a bit leary due to his size. His foster mom absolutely adores him. He has been able to go on long walks, to the pet store, to the doggie wash, and all around town. He did remarkably. He was friendly to everyone he met and was a perfect gentleman. Rocket is truly an incredible dog that deserves to have a home of his very own. He would love to have indoor/outdoor access. This boy does not want to be left outside again. So if you are looking for Rocket make sure you have room in your house for this lovely guy! Please complete the application to meet him.
Health & History: Rocket has had a wellness exam by one of our vets and is spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed, flea treated, current on DHLPPC, Bordatella, and Rabies. Rocket has spent the better part of his life living in an outside kennel run. His owners could never find the time to spend with him. He was set to be bred, but we had him surrendered to rescue instead and we are so happy to have him.
Adoption Donation: $400
Your adoption donation is used to care for the many dogs that enter into rescue. All dogs leave rescue vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, wormed, flea treated, and medically checked out. In some cases they receive dentals, ear flush, cherry eye surgery, and so on to ensure that they are healthy and ready to be adopted. Your adoption donation is very much appreciated and needed to help care for the many needy dogs that enter into rescue. New adopters receive a FREE exam coupon at a local veterinary clinic in Lynnwood OR a $30 care voucher to a veterinary chain (so be sure to ask about these coupons if you are interested). NOTE: Please do not email for more dog info. This is all the info available until approved application is received and then you can talk directly to that dog's foster home for further info. Thank you!

NWIPR is the pet's advocate and will select the most suitably matched home for the dog's general and unique needs, therefore adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis.
