BOXER SPOTLIGHT: ROCKY XII

Rocky XII is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Rocky XII ! I am a beautiful 5 year old flashy brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my family moving and unable to take me with them. I am described as friendly, active, smart, playful, and affectionate! I am dog selective and get along with the dog I currently live with but do not like dogs that I see on my walks or at dog parks. I have lived with a cat and due to my dislike of it, a cat free home is needed please! I currently live with 2 kids (ages 12 and 14 years old) and I am very friendly with kids! I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep in my crate. If the humans must be away, I react fine being alone. When outside I do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates but am able to jump kiddie gates if given the opportunity. I am not a fan of baths but some of my favorite things are riding in the car, playing, and stuffed animals! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!

BOXER SPOTLIGHT: XENA

Xena is an owner surrender looking for a new home.

Hi! My name is Xena! I am a beautiful 10-year-old flashy fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to changes in my family's dynamics, them moving, and have no place to keep me. I am a proud member of the rescue's Silver Heart Program so be sure and ask about it because there are many perks for my adoptive family! I am described as friendly, calm, playful, quiet, and affectionate! I live with another dog and am said to be dog friendly. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. I currently live with three kids (ages 7 months, 12 and 15 years) and do well with them! I would need assistance learning house and crate training manners in my new home. I sleep inside and if the humans must be away, I am good being left alone. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I love playing and sleeping and would love to have a forever family that lets me do both! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and tell them you want to meet Silver Heart Xena because I am waiting to meet you!
