About Rocket (Beagle) in Statesville, NC 28677

Rocket is waiting for you at Iredell County Animal Services and Control Department in Statesville, NC 28677. Meet Rocket — Ready for His New BeginningRocket comes to us as an owner surrender after his former family could no longer manage the care he and the many other dogs in the home needed and deserved.Trying their best to care for a large number of dogs while fearing they might lose their housing, they quickly became overwhelmed and reached out for help.Our Animal Control Officers and shelter management worked with them over the last few months, bringing the dogs in a few at a time so we could safely rehome them. Many of Rocket’s former kennelmates have already found loving families — and now it’s Rocket’s turn to find the home he deserves!This adorable brown and white beagle/hound mix is already winning hearts here at the shelter. And with every chest scratch (his absolute favorite), he just might be winning some hearts right back. At 21.60 pounds, this little cutie may be a bit nervous in the shelter setting, but he cannot hide how friendly and sweet he truly is.He’s still learning that leashes aren’t so scary, so he's hoping his new family will offer him patience and consistency as he adjusts. With love and routine, he’ll gain confidence in no time.Rocket previously lived with other dogs and did great with them. We always recommend meet and greets with other dogs and children prior to adoption to ensure the best match. We’re told that children visited the previous home and he and his dog friends did well. We do not have information on how he does with cats and cannot test for this.Come meet this little sweetheart at 430 Bristol Drive in Statesville.Please bring a collar and leash or purchase a combo here for only $15 to safely take your new family member home.Adoption Hours:• Mon–Fri: 12–5pm• Sat: 11am–2pmAdoption Fee: 80All adoptable dogs/puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and pre
