10/05/00 - Both Rocco and
Cindy were so happy to be headed for their foster home. They rode well in
the car for the short trip home, preferring to be on the back seat. When
they reached the foster home, they enjoyed running in the yard and playing
with each other. They are being fostered at a home with an 18 month old
child. They are cautious and gentle around her, slobbering her with Boxer
kisses without knocking her over.
These are definitely family
dogs. In their previous home they were allowed to sit on the furniture
and slept on the owners bed. We are training them to stay "off".
A simple "off" is all they need and back on the floor they go.
Rocco is very sure of
himself. He desperately wants to belong. He follows his foster father around
and is rarely more than 5 feet from him. Rocco is a great listener. He knows
"sit", "come" and "off". The profile sheet
from the shelter says that he knows "stay" and "down",
but he has not demonstrated them yet. He is playful and energetic. He is
vocal when he plays but has not been aggressive with humans. Rocco pulls on
his lead when he is walked and has a tendency to jump up when get gets
excited to see you or if you are patting him. However, he is easily
corrected and can still learn a lot if someone takes the time.
Cindy has a heart of gold.
She is sweet and timid, and starving for affection. You can see the wisdom
in her eyes as she is trying to figure out everything that has gone on.
She appears to be more content than Rocco. While he watches the door for
their foster father, she lies on the porch in the sun. She also knows
"come", "sit" and "off" but has not
demonstrated the other commands. Cindy initiates play between the two of
them and makes it very clear to Rocco when she has had enough. Cindy tends
to jump when you give her affection. She is fine if you get down to her
level for your hugs and kisses. Cindy is better on the leash and loves to go
for walks. She wants to be part of the family. Cindy jumped a 3 foot gate
because she heard the 18 month old upstairs and wanted to join the fun.
Rocco and Cindy have been
amazingly well behaved in their foster home. They are the most loving dogs,
and are very quiet. The only barking has been at the sound of the doorbell.
Once the visitor can be seen, they are full of wiggles wanting to say hi!
Rocco and Cindy are
searching for a family to love. They do well with children. Ideally, they
will do best in a household where they are not left alone for long hours.
Both Rocco and Cindy prefer the company of their family and are happy to
curl up at your feet as you watch TV.
Please contact us if you
can provide Rocco & Cindy a forever home together. They are very loving
dogs that can offer so much to the right family that can love and care for
them the rest of their lives.

- We were made aware of Rocco
& Cindy by a Boxer friend Jenny, who was working at the shelter. Cindy
is a 6 year old spayed fawn female Boxer with the most kind heart. Rocco is
a 4 year old neutered male brindle Boxer who has nothing but love to
give. Rocco and Cindy have loved each other their whole life, and it is
essential that they are placed in a new home together.
They were surrendered by
their owner because an individual in the house developed allergies. They had
been living in a home with 4 children ages 6 to 13, an elderly individual
and a male cat. Both Rocco and Cindy are now up to date on their shots.
Rocco was already neutered, but Cindy needed to be spayed at the rescue. The
information from the incoming profile sheet at the shelter states that they
are both friendly and playful, and this has certainly proven to be true. The
information also says that they are used to being left alone for about 4
hours at a time, like to sleep in bed with the owner, and are accustomed to
bathing. They both like to play ball and frisbee, and their favorite
game is "playing with kids".
