Well, Poor Rocky is back in a kennel. He got "too playful" in the foster home that had 2 pugs. Can't blame the poor guy he was just starting to feel better about life and wanted to play a little.

He is extremely depressed now back in the kennel all alone again. He just must feel so confused? He did nothing wrong, he was just feeling good about life. The day before Thanksgiving he found himself back at the kennel. Please offer to foster this sweet senior. He really needs a loving home for the holidays. Is that too much to ask for???

Rocky is doing so well! Now that he is more comfortable in my home, his personality is certainly coming out! Every time I come home he meets me at the door with so much excitement! He brightens any day that I've had! He also plays with his toys more! He likes to chew on his rope toy. I have found that he knows several tricks and gets so excited that he tries to skip some steps just to get a treat! He sits, gives paw, lies down, and rolls over. Although, I don't ask him to roll over so much because he is getting old, and his muscles aren't in the best of shape anymore. He had a visit to the vet a few weeks ago and checked out very healthy though! We now know that his birthday is 7/01/1998. So he is 8 years young! Please contact us about Rocky!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please first read the information on our Adoption Procedures, 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. 

Adoptions Fee: $300
