Update - Rocky is in foster with a 14 yr old female lab mix and doing wonderful! In his previous temporary foster home, Rocky instantly fell in love with his three foster brothers and sister who were also Boxers and he completely ignored the cat. The first weekend Rocky was in foster was a busy time at the house, with lots of family coming over and he was great with everyone. All that met him couldn’t imagine who could give up such a sweetheart.

Rocky loves his fenced yard, is always willing to give kisses and cuddle, and he is just the biggest angel I’ve met. I have included a picture of Rocky snuggling in his new bed. He is very easy going and listens well to commands.

Please consider Rocky for adoption - he deserves to have a family all his own to love him.

01/13/09 -

Rocky was surrendered to the shelter because his owners were not able to afford his care or give him the attention he needed. Due to their work hours, Rocky was spending a lot of time in a crate. The family had taken Rocky 6 months ago from another family who was moving and leaving him behind. Now that he is in rescue, we will make sure his next home will be his forever home.

Rocky is a sweet, affectionate boy. He has been through obedience training and knows his basic commands. Rocky is completely housetrained and crate trained. He loves children and going for car rides. He is reported to be wonderful with other dogs and cats. Rocky is very submissive with the other dogs in his foster home. He definitely deserves a loving, committed home!

Thank you for your interest in Rocky.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read our Adoption Procedure, by clicking on the link at the top of this page, 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.
