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. Read about Rocket and learn how to become a Rockets Ranger.
Here is a holiday safety message from Rocket:
Hi Kids!
I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas time! My family celebrates Christmas, but maybe your family celebrates Hanukkah or another Holiday around this time of year. It is sooo much fun but sometimes things can be dangerous for pups if their family isn’t careful!
There will be lots of parties in the next few weeks and that means big plates of food and snacks. You know we pups can smell like super heroes, and we love to use that skill to find all those yummy goodies. Please be careful to keep them where we can’t get to them because we like to eat all we can, even if it makes us sick!! We can end up in the hospital very sick if we really overdue it. You have learned that chocolate, grapes and raisins are poisonous to dogs so be especially careful with anything that has those things in them! One of the prettiest things we see at Christmas is the Poinsettia plant. It has leaves shaped in a star flower shape that are usually red, but they can be pink or white. Did you know this plant is poisonous to dogs?? Make sure they are out of reach for puppy munching and don’t let the dead leaves land on the floor or you know who might taste them! Some dogs, especially little puppies, might get into wrapping paper, ribbon, glass ornaments and decorations which could harm them so be watchful and keep them at a safe height if you can!
Please don’t forget to take care of your dog and walk him while you are so busy this season. Any big changes in our routine can make us kind of stressed out. Remember, we will be there to be your buddies ALL YEAR LONG!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Love from your pal
Rocket
