I’ve been here for a while now and have met a lot of people of all ages, but for some reason I just am not the dog that they choose in the end. I'm just a wee bit too energetic for most people. OK...I admit it, I’m off the charts! But that makes me a good match for another equally energetic dog or even an older dog who needs a spark in their life and a kick in the butt!
Several dogs have some to meet me and I’ve welcomed each and every one with a twirl and a whirl and an invitation to give chase and play. Not once have a growled or snapped, because I make friends easily. Kids have met me and although I spend the first few minutes searching for toys to toss around, I eventually notice the people and jump on most of them with enthusiasm. I’ve been told that is not always what they are seeking in a dog but I have a hard time staying calm at my very young age. I’m just a baby really...not even 2 years old and people are expecting me to be perfect when I spend most of my time in a cage. All it’s going to take is some exercise and training to harness my unbridled energy. With my adorable looks and 40-lb size, I will catch your eye. I will also catch a tennis ball over and over again if you will come and take me to the play yard. In the meantime, I’ll be waiting for you.

I sat in a kennel for a year at another rescue,
which is most of my life since I'm not even 2 years old. But I'm a
lively, large lover boy who is desperate to be out of a shelter and in a
real home. I'm a knockout physically with my freckled face, splotchy
pink nose and fine physique. All I want to do is climb on laps and stick
my muzzle into yours which gets me in trouble most of the time because I
am 4 times the size of a real lap dog. Even though I'm a young bruiser I'm not that hard to walk. You would be so proud to have me at your side like some elegant lion strutting my stuff. The volunteers get a huge kick out of my inquisitive expressions and quest for attention. In my kennel (my prison) I'm like a jumping jack, springing up and down with anticipation as to when my next outing with a volunteer will be. As an American bull dog mix, my ideal family would be an active one with people who love to walk, jog, hike and cuddle of course. My giant head takes both hands to pet and I'm not shy or skittish with anyone. I'm too big and clumsy to be around little kids, but older ones would be okay. I could even enjoy the company of another active female dog, but I'm quite enough dog on my own, too. So consider getting me on track to leave, because I'm ready willing and able to be your most loyal follower.

I left as an 8-month-old pup and was returned
as a 3-year-old. My owner explained that their lifestyle had changed and
they no longer could give me the attention I needed so here I am on the
market again. I was adopted briefly but was returned yet again. Although they gushed about what a good dog I was — housebroken and affectionate — they were exasperated by my “escaping” several times and did not feel that they could give me enough exercise so that I wasn’t bored and looking for other things to do. I’ve met and played with many other dogs. Being a big boy and rather rambunctious, I’m best matched with another dog who is up for some bouncing around. Don’t confuse me for a couch potato even though I hang out and wag my tail soaking up attention. I love to be outside, walking just as much and need an owner who is active and around so that I won’t be lonely. The volunteers think I rock! So roll on in and ask to meet Rocco.

If you’re looking for a Hero, I’m looking for a
savior. Despite the many times I have been shown to potential adopters,
there always seems to be a reason why they pass me up and choose a
different dog or no dog at all. I have all the qualities of a fine companion...I’m playful and friendly with people of all ages. I am very treat-driven and will sit on a dime for the most meager of offerings. I love tennis balls and will trade for a reward. I can also catch them in mid-air if you aim a little and give me a heads-up! I’m approximately 2 years old, have that wide bulldog head, the brindle coat of a boxer, and weigh about 60 lbs. Although I am not fond of other dogs, for the most part I ignore them and am perfectly willing to turn around and walk away from them. I am much improved walking on leash and I look forward to my walks with the volunteers. My mouth is gentle when taking treats and I love attention returning the affection the volunteers shower on me with kisses to their chins. There is no question that you would be my Hero if you made me your Hero.

You don’t see many dogs like me around.
Remember Spuds McKenzie? Have you seen the Target dog with the red
bulls-eye? That’s the breed that I am...a stout bull terrier with the
egg-shaped head, pointy ears, and adorable pinkish snout. Not only am I an eye-catcher, I’m also super-friendly with people and love to be cuddled. There’s nothing tepid or skittish about me. I’ll be the first one to greet people and I never say no to a brisk walk. At about 45 lbs and approximately 3-years-old, I’m a catch for adults who want a single dog that will dote on them. I never have accidents in my kennel even though I can’t go outside to go to the bathroom as often as I’d like, so I think you would be very happy at how quickly I would be potty-trained in a new home. My preference is to be the only dog, but I visited with the cats briefly and it’s possible I could live with a calm and confident cat. It’s a mystery why I’m still waiting for a home. My age, size and loving disposition should be all anyone needs to choose me.

When it’s time to “Buddy Up” I hope you think of me. Having the most popular name for a dog has gotten me nowhere so far. I was in a foster home for a few months but my foster mom worked long hours and I was alone too much. I’m very good company — social, outgoing and loyal to a fault. Some other great qualities I possess include being potty-trained and walking well on leash.
There are some dogs I like and others I tolerate but I won’t be pulling your arm out to lunge at them. I don’t care that much. I can even live peaceably with a cat if the situation calls for it. I’m very flexible! Specifically, I am your basic, mid-size, middle-age, beagle-boxer mix with a little extra padding that I’m hoping to walk off. Maybe we can do that together.
