This handsome lad is Boober (any Fraggle Rock fans out there?! ) & is a SPECIAL NEEDS adoptable boy who was born deaf. He is just under 1 year old (born on 10/21/23), and comes from mama Mokey’s litter. Our best guess is that he’s a boxer/lab/pittie mix. He weighs in @ 50-55lbs.
Boober is an AMAZING boy who — despite his inability to hear — has an undeniable zest for life! He is guaranteed to make you smile! He is crate-trained and completely potty-trained. His on-leash skills are a work in progress; he does well most of the time, but does tend to pull when he gets excited. Boober has been working very diligently with his foster family on learning sign language commands. So far he has mastered: “outside, potty, quiet, sit/down, no,” and of course a LOT of: “good boy!” This social, happy-go-lucky boy simply loves EVERYONE he meets! From humans (adults & kids), other dogs (of all ages & sizes), to cats…he is a friend to all! Boober’s all-time favorite thing = playing in water! Whether at the river, in a kiddie pool, from a bucket, or even straight out of the hose…he can’t get enough! He rides on the boat like a champ and can’t wait to get to the sandbar (to play in the water, of course!). He’s also a good copilot on car rides, though could use a bit more practice getting in & out of the car on command. He is simply the best, most lovable boy…with endless potential! We can’t wait to see him absolutely thrive in the forever home he’s been so patiently waiting for…
BOOBER’S HOME REQUIREMENTS:
1 A fenced-in backyard (for his safety + secure containment)
2 LOTS of toys! He is a super-chewer, so needs plenty of tough toys (balls, tug toys, strong chews, pig ears, etc.)
3 A family who is PATIENT, provides him with plenty of adjustment time + grace as he transitions to a new home, and [of course] forever unconditional love!
4 Experience with hearing impaired/special needs pups isn’t necessarily required, but is a major perk!
