Rocky was a perfect gentleman during his weekend (Friday-Sunday) visit with my husband and I.  We had absolutely no problems with him.  He quickly warmed up to both of us and once he knew he could trust us, we could do anything with him...play with him and his toys, pet him while he ate or chewed a bone, etc...  He showed no bias to one gender.  He was fine with both of us, both of my parents and their Jack Russell.  He didn't like sudden movements by either of us or our dogs though.  However, his reaction was not aggressive to sudden movements, just fear. Poor guy!  He was fine with our two dogs (3 year-old female Boxer/Lab mix and 6 year-old male Boxer) and had a great time running around in the back yard playing.  He is very agile. He loves the couch and loves to cuddle.  He is great in the car by himself or with the other two dogs.  He will make a great addition to a family!

Here is Rocky, a 7yr. old fawn male boxer that is neutered and ready to go into his forever home. He has gone from home to home. He is shy of men, loves the women. We only suspect that somewhere down the line a man treated him unkindly. He is in foster with a great guy and his girlfriend and are working on being extra nice to him. 

He is crate trained and housebroken. He is living in foster with a female boxer and doing well. He walks well on a leash but can be stubborn as a mule when he sniffs something and doesn't want to move. We would like a home with older kids for him. He can be possessive with his things, so no little kids. He is very sweet and loving and deserves a final home to get all the loving he deserves.
