Hey guys!
I'm not sure if this is happening in your area, but I live northern indiana and dog flipping has become a problem. My friend is personally dealing with this with her husky. We have spread the word to every vet, shelter, you name it in Indiana, a lot of them have flyers up. We have even created a Facebook page with almost a thousand likes **CHECK IT OUT (https://www.facebook.com/FindingRocket)** and we have even gone as far as getting the ABC news to do a segment on dog flipping which had Rocket it in. We know that is a long shot but please help us out and spread the word or like the page. any little thing helps.
Rocket was stolen, and then we located him and sent the police, but the police said there was nothing they could do. The next day the lady who stole rocket sold him and now we have no idea where he is at. We are following every lead possible in indiana and even surrounding states and we are not stopping until we FIND ROCKET



Rocket was stolen on May 10, 2013, from his home near the Miami/Cass county line in north central Indiana. He is an all white (no other color or tint on coat) neutered male husky weighing 65 pounds and being one and a half years old.
Rocket is bi-eyed. He was not chipped but family is willing to have DNA testing to prove ownership. When he was taken he was wearing a red Aztec collar with Cass Co. Animal Hospital tags. If you have any information on or about Rocket, please call Deb Clark at 574-739-0046 or message us at Finding Rocket on facebook. There is a $500 reward for his SAFE return with no questions asked. He is loved.
If you can please share this, at this point you are the only hope we have of bring him home.

Thats sad, best of luck. all the more reason to have your dog chipped though

There's a lot of this that happens around where I live. We had a scare with Kenzi over it not that long ago and now we don't let her out of the house without us. She's now chipped, has pictures taken of her from all angles and all distinct markings as well as video of her behavior, and local and county cops have a file on her in case they ever spot her out without me. There are a lot of sick people in the world that don't have a care for other people or the dogs they steal. Rocket has had one of the most wide spread searches of any dog I've ever seen and I hope it works out. So many people just make their little lost dog post on craigslist and leave it at that, somehow expecting that that should be enough.

Wow ... how heartbreaking!!!

I'm not sure if the dog was chipped or not. Even if it was chipped, the new 'owner' can just not bring him to the vet or animal control to be scanned.


I've been following Finding Rocket since day one. I believe the dog was stolen out of her yard. She should try to call all of the pet stores in the local area too. I really hope she finds rocket soon.

Rocket wasn't chipped and is still missing but within the last week Finding Rocket has gotten more likes which means word is still spreading. I hope we can bring him home!

This makes me sick! I hope Rocket gets home to your friend soon. Our local news just ran a story about dog flipping yesterday. In a case like this, I don't think it would make a difference if the dog was chipped or not unless a new owner that purchased the dog had suspicions/concerns or maybe takes the dog to a vet that has seen his story and they scan him. Maybe it should become custom that vets scan dogs at the beginning of every appointment. Hardly practical, BUT...

Could this be Rocket?

Edit - just noticed Rocket is a boy, darn!

I live in the Michigan area, I will keep my eyes and ears open for you... I am following the Finding Rocket page on Facebook, I wish you the best of luck, and if I see or hear anything I will let you know.
