For many weeks the dog waited for his family to return. He also waited for food and water. When the abandoned dog was found in the empty yard he was nearly dead, but through his spirit, and with the care of a vet and his helpers, the dog survived and was adopted into his new, loving and forever home. Today, he tells his story to teach children and adults alike, compassion, and how to be good pet parents.
His adopted Mom, Barb, thought Rocket would be the perfect one to teach kids be good pet parents, so she created Rockets Rangers. Rocket has already visited several schools. Learn how to have Rocket visit your school and discover how to become a Rockets Ranger. Then click here to read more about Rocket Rangers and for Rockets holiday safety message.

When I read Rocket’s story at his website I couldn’t believe he survived…my dog Bo endured the same type of starvation and was also nearly dead when found…but he survived with lots of love & food. He has since departed this world. I so believe education begins with the children on how to properly care for a pet & whether or not you are ready for a pet and what type of pet. This is an area I want to focus on in the near future.
