My story

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

Male

One Year Old

Good With Dog

No Cats

Good With Kids

Deaf

Requires Another Dog in Home

Hi, I’m Oso. I’m a one-year-old Boxer with plenty of energy and a big personality. I also happen to be deaf, but that doesn’t hold me back. I’ve already learned sit, lay down, come, and stay using ASL, and I pick up new things quickly—especially when there are treats involved.

I walk nicely once we’re outside, though I can be a bit stubborn about getting my collar and leash on. Once it’s on, I like to carry the leash to the door myself. I have good manners too—I sit before meals, go into my crate on my own, and I’m great with the dog door.

I love other dogs, but I can play a little rough with smaller ones. A home with another dog closer to my size would be a good fit, since I watch and learn from them. Cats probably aren’t the best match, and because I have big zoomies that can send furniture sliding, a home without very young kids would be safest.

Some of my favorite things are walks, camping, car rides, and curling up with my foster dad. I also enjoy “helping” in the garden, especially if I get a few slices of fresh cucumber as a snack.

I may not hear the world around me, but I pay close attention and adapt quickly. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and energetic Boxer to share life’s adventures, I’d love to meet you.

We do not have a kennel facility, but use foster homes so meets need to be scheduled.

More about this rescue

Northwest Boxer Rescue (NWBR) believes that every boxer deserves a chance to live a happy life in a loving home. Abandoned or homeless Boxers will always find shelter, medical care, and ultimately a new home through the efforts of NWBR. By working with committed volunteers and local veterinarians we are able to rescue boxers every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them perfect loving forever homes. Working in conjunction with city and county groups, NWBR strives to educate the public and help end animal overpopulation and needless suffering. The commitment to share the love of Boxers is never ending.

We never discriminate on the basis of health or age. Our animals are evaluated, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive any necessary medical treatment before they are placed in carefully screened homes.
