Potty Trained: Working on it! Hi, I’m Rocket—a playful, cuddly Beagle mix puppy with a heart as big as my floppy ears! I’m everything you’d expect from a puppy—full of fun, curiosity, and love to share. I love playing with other dogs and I’m really curious about cats—I mostly just want to play with them too! I’ve also been around kids and did great—I’m playful but not too much for younger ones. When I meet new people, I warm up quickly and love the attention. I’m working hard on potty training and doing really well! I’m also learning that my crate is a safe place to nap, and I come when I’m called. I’m very smart but still learning the basics—after all, I’ve been busy growing up with my siblings! My favorite things? Toys, toys, toys! I love chasing balls, chewing on teething bones, and playing with rope toys or Kongs filled with peanut butter. And I love treats—especially carrots, blueberries, and frozen Greek yogurt snacks. I’m playful and active, but also a total cuddlebug. I like running around the yard, but when it’s time to relax, I love snuggling up—either with you or in a puppy pile with my siblings. I don’t jump, but I’ll gently put my paws on your legs to ask for hugs or belly rubs, and if you pick me up, I’ll nuzzle my head right into your face. I’d love a forever home with another dog to keep me company since I’m not quite as independent as some of my siblings. I just want to be close to my people and dog friends—and I promise to bring lots of love, laughter, and puppy kisses to your life. If you’re ready for puppy snuggles and playful adventures, I’m ready to meet you! 💕 This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue. Please note that we cannot hold dogs for any reason. If the dog or puppy is not yet fully vetted, we can only consider applications from adopters within an hour's drive or 40 miles of Lemont, IL, due to required vet visits at our partner veterinarians. For fully vetted dogs or puppies, we welcome applications from out-of-state or beyond the 40-mile radius. Please only apply if you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within five days of approval. Breed and Age Information: Unless the puppy was born in our care, we cannot guarantee the breed or age. Breed and age estimates are based on veterinary advice, shelter records, physical appearance, and information provided by previous owners. The adoption fee includes: Spay/neuter (performed at one of our partner veterinarians as scheduled by the rescue) Microchip Rabies vaccine DHPP vaccine Bordetella vaccine 4DX test (Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, Lyme Disease) General wellness care, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention Your adoption fee also helps support medical care for other rescue animals, including heartworm treatments, surgeries, and emergency care. Spay/Neuter Policy: We spay/neuter dogs at 16 weeks or older, at the discretion of the rescue and in consultation with our partner veterinarians. While some veterinarians recommend delaying the procedure based on a breeds projected size, as a rescue, our primary goal is to prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering also provide significant health benefits, including cancer prevention and reducing behavioral issues. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association support pediatric spay/neuter for cats and dogs as early as 16 weeks. We carefully assess each case to determine the best timing for the procedure. Interested in Adopting? Submit an adoption application at www.rubywhiskers.org/adopt
