Swayze's Story

Swayze is an approximately 5-year-old boxer boy, and he is the sweetest, silliest, most lovable “Huggie Bear” you’ll ever meet! This handsome guy is equal parts gentle heart and adorable goofball. He’s incredibly sweet, a little awkward in the most endearing way, and truly just wants to be close to his people.<br/><br/>Swayze is house trained, hasn’t been destructive in the home, and sleeps through the night like a pro. He enjoys being near his humans, has learned how wonderful snuggles are, and settles beautifully once he’s comfy. He walks well using a halter and leash, and he’s generally a quiet boy who doesn’t bark much.<br/><br/>Swayze is gaining confidence with household routines and continues to blossom every day. He loves to give hugs and will sometimes jump up to wrap you in them — it’s incredibly sweet, but he is a strong boy, so continued guidance will be important (especially around children). His “hugging” has already improved greatly with consistency.<br/><br/>Recently we discovered that Swayze has shown discomfort around some men, so a patient adopter and thoughtful introductions will be important as we learn more about that. He truly adores his trusted person and bonds deeply once he feels safe. This boy is inspiring, affectionate, and so ready to keep becoming the happy, confident dog he’s meant to be.<br/><br/>Thank you for considering an OTAT-WTX rescue! All pets are living in foster homes, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, or for more information, please visit our website: https://otatwtx.org/how-to-adopt
