Rocky - Boxer Dog for Adoption in Clay City, Kentucky

Our Rocky packs a lot of punch and personality into his 46 pounds. He arrived at our shelter as a stray. He has a small wound on his tail, but is otherwise healthy, happy, and ready to make friends.

At about 5 years old, Rocky is in his prime. He plays well with the other dogs here, is nice with children, and seems unconcerned with the cats in our cat room. He dreams of having his own safe space to run and explore, and a dedicated human friend. Rocky will bring a dose of energy and joy to his future home. Come meet Rocky!
