Rocky was surrendered to rescue because he was spending long hours in the crate and his family did not have the time to care for him like he deserved.  They contacted rescue for help in finding a placement that could provide more time and attention for a boxer this age.  Rocky has been well cared for and previously lived with two children, ages 2 and 5.  He was very sweet and gentle with the children.  Rocky is neutered and up to date on all vet care. 

Rocky's previous family indicates that he is crate trained and completely housebroken.  Rocky enjoyed going to the dog park - he loves to run and play with other dogs.  Rocky also loves to cuddle with his family.

Rocky just arrived at his new foster home, where he is living with three other boxers, cats, and four children (ages 3 to 11 yrs).  We would love to find a home for Rocky with a fenced yard, another young dog to play with, and somebody there often for him so he isn't spending long periods alone in the crate.  If you can provide the time and training for a boxer this age, apply today for 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 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.
