Rocky is a 2 year old male boxer who was surrendered to the shelter because his owner did not have time for him. The shelter reported that he is a sweet and friendly boy. Rocky previously lived with three children: a 7 month old, 5 yr old, and 9 yr old - and he was great with them. Rocky is crate trained and housetrained. He was left alone during the work day. Rocky is good with other dogs and is currently in a foster home with a male Boston Terrier and a female boxer.

Rocky's foster mom indicates that he is adjusting well.  He is an incredibly sweet boy that likes to be where the "action" is, following his foster mom and dad around the house to make sure he doesn't miss a beat. He likes to go for walks or run around the yard. He is a quintessential boxer with all of the sweetness of this breed. It doesn't take long to fall for this guy. He needs to gain some weight but overall he is a gorgeous young boxer who would love to go to his forever 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.
