Rocco is now in a new foster home with two boxers and two children.  He will be neutered as soon as he recovers completely from kennel cough.  He loves to play fetch and has been very good in his crate.  Rocco does much better in a Vari-Kennel rather than a wire crate.  He loves exploring and playing in the fenced yard.  Rocco is doing wonderful with the two children in his foster home, ages 8 and 10.  He loves to cuddle on the couch.  Rocco does need some work on his house manners, but he is picking things up quickly.  Rocco would do best in a home where somebody is there often and with a fenced yard.  Apply today for Rocco!

Rocco is a super sweet boy who would do best in a home with another dog.  He is moving to a new foster home today and we will post more information as he gets settled in.  Rocco's previous foster reported that he loved the children who visited him from the school across the street.  He is very affectionate and gives lots of kisses.  Rocco will play fetch and likes to carry his squeaky chicken toy.  He enjoys walks and is improving with his leash manners. Rocco does need some work with his crate training.  If you have another dog and are interested in adding Rocco to your family, apply today!

Five year old Rocco found himself at the shelter when his owner determined he had too many dogs and could no longer care for them all.  Rocco previously lived with several other dogs, including three others that ended up at the shelter with him.  He just arrived at his new foster home, so we will be posting more information soon!

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 3 months to adopt a Rescue Boxer to an approved applicant, depending on your personal circumstances and flexibility.  

Not every home is the right match for a boxer, and 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 at your home visit of other dogs you are interested...  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.
