Hi! I’m Rookie! I’m a 1-year-old pointer mix adopted from April Star Adoption Foundation under the generous Red Star Sponsorship of Sean Cocchia.

I was found abandoned on the streets of Bakersfield, CA as a tiny puppy, but some amazing humans rescued me and nursed me back to health. Now, I’m full of joy, love snacks, and give full-body wiggles to anyone who looks my way.

I’ve got a special heart-shaped patch on my right side (the STS family think it’s fate since I was adopted the day before Valentine’s Day), and I’m learning something even more special…I’m training to be a service dog! I’m practicing my skills so one day I can help a veteran in need, but in the meantime, I’ll keep spreading happiness and wiggly love wherever I go!
