Rocky is settling in well at his foster home with his sister, Coco.  He was used to having somebody home during the day, as well as having free roam of a fenced yard.  Rocky is still getting used to his new environment and schedule.  He is house broken and most days are accident free now.  During the transition from home to foster, he and his sister did experience some sibling rivalry - but it has mostly stopped since they are more settled.  Rocky has done well with other dogs in the neighborhood, but has been a little too dominant in a dog park setting.  Rocky is a great dog who is looking for a strong, confident leader.  He would do best with a fenced yard and having somebody home more often during the day.  Rocky can be placed with Coco, or also with an easygoing female boxer. 

5/10/16 -

Rocky and Coco are siblings who are being surrendered together to rescue because one of their owners passed away.  They are both 3 years old and reported to be good with other dogs and older children (only because of their very excited jumping behavior).  They have no history with cats. 

We would love to find a home who can take this pair together.  We are looking for a home that is experienced with the boxer breed and that has enough time to train and work with both boxers.   If you have room for two boxers, please consider adopting Rocky and Coco together.

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.
