My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Looking for a sweet, devoted and ridiculously loving companion who has a zest for life? Meet Rocky – a wiggly, happy-go-lucky pup whose ready to bring nonstop fun into your life. Despite a rough start to life, this handsome guy is ready to leave the past behind and find his forever home filled with love and belly rubs.

This 3-yr old adorable Boxer-Bully mix is full of personality – whether he’s exhuberantly greeting visitors, doing zoomies in the yard, chasing his ball, proudly strutting the neighborhood, plopping his 60 lb body onto your lap, watching every move you make in the kitchen or trying to sneak into your bed at night! He is smart, food motivated and eager to please which is a blessing for training. He knows basic obedience, loves the comfort of his crate, is housetrained and yes, he is a treadmill pro as well.

Although Rocky does love a good workout, he does not need a lot of exercise and is sensitive to the warmer weather. Rocky is perfectly happy having a decent walk, then switching to his role as Professional Window Watcher – where he snoozes and lounges in front of the bay window to watch the world go by. He rarely barks at the many people and dogs walking by but if there is a squirrel to report, he is on it! He usually races to the door if he thinks by chance there may be a guest stopping by although often it’s just the mailman or an Amazon delivery person.

Rocky gives Velcro Dog vibes – wherever you are is where he wants to be. He is a strong and sturdy boy who needs to be mindful around little ones and does love to chew, so watch those toys. This big-hearted pup is all about people and loves soaking up the attention and he needs to be the only pet in the home. No sharing the spotlight for him! Despite this, he enjoys pack walking and participating in training classes with other balanced and controlled pups – as long as he has his space. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate and endlessly entertaining best friend, Rocky is your perfect match. He is a wonderful houseguest at his foster home and is very much loved.

If you are interested in meeting Rocky, please fill out an adoption application online (

Thank you for your interest!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require each applicant to complete an adoption application, followed by a home visit. We also contact personal and veterinarian references. We want to make sure that the next home our furbabies go to, is their last, and that they will be loved like a member of the family.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based rescue, but do also have a small shelter. You can contact us at diamondunderdogs@yahoo.com to setup an appointment to come out and check out some of our adoptables.

More about this rescue

Diamonds in the Ruff Animal Rescue is a non profit animal rescue organization that is run by a dedicated group of volunteers. Our mission is to protect the welfare of animals, one life at a time, from unnecessary euthanasia. From high kill shelters to foster homes to caring adoptive families, Diamonds in the Ruff handles every aspect of the rescue process. Our animals are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive necessary medical treatment. Foster homes are used to provide sanctuary and ensure a successful placement. Our goal is to make the adoption process a kind, informative and rewarding experience because we believe that every animal can become a treasured family pet.

Why we do it:
4 million animals are euthanized each year in the United States.
That is 300,000 a month
Over 11,000 each day
Diamonds in the Ruff Animal Rescue works tirelessly to decrease this statistic.
