Ready for adoption

Here is the Dutchess County SPCA Pet of the Week — Ready for adoption. What are you waiting for?

This week's featured pet:
Rocket — Shepherd mix
"Appropriately named, as this young adult male shepherd mix tends to bounce off the walls if he misses his daily walk. Goofy nature and athletic build allow him the ability to play for hours and never get bored. Good with people, though we may recommend a home with older children due to his over-exuberant behavior. Obedience classes would definitely benefit this guy."

The Dutchess County SPCA is located at 636 Violet Avenue, Hyde Park, NY 12538. The shelter is open Sunday, Monday, Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Closed Wednesdays. Call 845-452-SPCA (7722). Browse our adoptable animals today!
