7/22/06 - Rocky

Intake Reason - Owner Surrender; Owners are ill and can't take care of him any longer.

Rocky is certainly the perfect example of "Man's Best Friend!" This loveable 8-year-old brindle will follow you everywhere! While he likes to explore and know every inch of his surroundings, he behaves no matter where he is. He likes to be outside and loves walks! He does not try to run or get ahead on the walks, but he certainly likes to keep moving.

Rocky is fully housebroken and well behaved when left in the house alone. While he likes to be near you, he is very low maintenance in that he has no interest in playing with toys or balls, at least right now. Rocky also loves to take rides in the car! I think he wants to go for a walk, but he bolts straight to the car so we'll go on short car rides. He is just a laid back, sweet boy. He has been very good with other dogs in the neighborhood! While he seems to prefer men over women, he just needs someone to love him for the rest of his days!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, then fill out an online application.

Boxers and Applicants are not matched on a first come, first served basis. Not all applications are approved. On average, it takes between a week and 1 month to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Matching Boxers suitable for placement with younger children, other dogs, cats, and special needs, yours and theirs, increases the application review time and adoption time.  

And yes, we realize that the Boxer you may have your heart set on, may be adopted before you're approved.   Should your first choices all ready found their forever home, we want you to advise us as to other dogs you are interested in at Adoptions@AdoptABoxerRescue.com .  Or let us suggest a few that we feel will match your home.  That is what we are good at.   And be happy for the ones that have been placed... and know that there are way too many fantastic dogs waiting in their place.

Our non-profit organization is wholly comprised of hard-working volunteers whose only reward is seeing our wonderful Boxers placed in loving, permanent homes and given another chance for a happy life. Our process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion - a Boxer.

We hope you feel that the right Boxer is worth waiting for. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
