Story
Meet Tony: Tony aka Rocky is an active 7 month old (as of October 5, 2026) boxer / hound mix (best guess) that weighs about 37 pounds. Tony aka Rocky is being fostered in the Lancaster, PA area. He is playful, affectionate, and VERY food-motivated. Rocky’s favorite activities are wrestling with his foster sister, being chased by her in the back yard, and chewing on toys, the harder the better. Rocky also enjoys long walks, watching the world go by from a windows seat or fenced-in yard, and snuggling with people and dogs that he knows.
Despite his tough-sounding name, Rocky can be a little timid in new situations. He looks to the other dogs in his foster home for guidance on how to react. In familiar surroundings, his exuberance and personality shine through, but he’s not one to jump into the arms of a stranger. His foster parents are working on exposing Rocky to new situations to build up his confidence. Once his trust is earned, he leans into hugs and gives kisses generously.
Tony aka Rocky gets along with other dogs and would benefit from having another playful dog to help him burn off energy, keep him entertained, and teach him the household routine. He runs to the car and readily jumps in once he realizes he’s about to go for a ride. Rocky knows the command “house”, runs to his crate for food, and sometimes goes there on his own to rest.
Tony aka Rocky was part of a litter that (Zoc, Rix, Tony, Scarlett, Gus, Alvin and Vixen) was rescued with their mom (Raya) after they were surrendered to a high kill shelter. We are thankful that we have been able to have them grow up in foster care as opposed to the loud shelter life. Tony was good with both other dogs and cats when he was fostered in the south.
Tony is house trained and crate trained. We would love for Tony to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play freely. Tony is up to date on his puppy shots and neutered. If you are interested in giving this sweetie lots of love and a great life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
