Meet Sunshine

Hi, my name is Sunshine! I am a 3-year-old old Boxer. I may not be able to hear my foster mom when she talks to me, but I do see how her mouth moves when she smiles at me and says my name, so I know she likes me and is talking to me, which makes me wiggly and happy. If you need me to do something, I know some hand signals and am very willing to learn more. I’m very eager and motivated by love and food. Being deaf helps me be more observant and attentive so I’ll watch you more closely. I’m not very fond of being in a crate/kennel, I’d just much prefer being with my people.

Eventually, I’ll be able to understand all your body language and subtle cues. I will often come looking for you if you’ve left the room while I was snoozing. I’ll check your normal places, nosing open doors, and sniffing for your scent until I find where you’ve gone. You’ll find I crave schedules, structure, and repetition. In addition to being an observant watcher, my sense of smell is amazing. I can smell food and crumbs from a mile away. Let’s put it this way, you won’t need a vacuum with me around. I love going for walks and I have great leash manners; and the best part is that barking dogs don't bother me because I can’t hear them.

I am full of energy and I love to run around the yard and do zoomies and jump over anything in my way. I really enjoy playing Frisbee, fetching a ball, bone tossing, and doing whirly whirls!! I also love sturdy and indestructible toys because I play with them hard! I’m very smart and a quick learner. It would be really great if my forever family takes me to training classes so that I can learn, with them, how to be the best Sunshine I can be. I’m eager to please, so it really would be a lot of fun.

I have lived with a couple of dogs in my previous home and am good with other dogs that like to run and play. Even when I have misunderstood my past furry friends, we always made up with lots of kisses. I would also do best in a home without any cats.

In my previous life, I accidentally swallowed a big shiny rock. I think maybe I thought it was a toy. It made me very sick because no one knew it was in my intestines. I felt like I was starving all the time and my tummy hurt even though I was getting food. Eating hurt and made me cranky and I still wanted more food, then I would end up throwing up. This was a dire time; but I recovered after I got the medical care I needed, I felt much better, and am doing fine now. However, I will need my human’s help to keep small objects like toys or anything shiny, away from me, because I still may be tempted to try to eat it, and I sure don’t want to go through that again!

Well, that’s enough about me. Overall, I think anyone who gives me a chance will see how awesome, loving, and loyal I can be. If you’d like to set up a time to meet me, please let the people at MLBR know by submitting an adoption application - https://www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/adopt. If you have any questions about me, you can send MLBR a private message too. Hope to meet my forever family soon!
