About Twitch

Hello there, I'm Twitch, a 1.5year-old boxer mix and I am a very happy pup. I have a beautiful faint brindle coat that makes me stand out from the crowd and weigh 60 pounds. Something else you might notice about me is that I tend to twitch my head. This is how I got my name, Twitch. The vet says I do have neurological issues but didn't find anything that stood out requiring medication or seeing a neurologist. He says I am healthy with a great coat, teeth, eyes and pass the general exam with flying colors. However, I am deaf, I have challenges with being potty-trained and will always just be special in my own sweet ways. I am a vocal dog and will hold full conversations with you in the language of my people��%BD'��%BD|Chewbacca. Oh yes. Get ready for some guttural sass to let you know precisely what is on my mind. I settle down well and will curl up beside you when it is time to relax. I also sleep to the fullest, upside down with my mouth open to the stars like a drunken undergrad at the end of a frat house party. But wait��%BD'��%BD|there's more! I am a very curious and adventurous boy. I love to explore and pick up anything I can find to take outside. I will need your careful supervision and attention to make sure I don't get into things I'm not supposed to. I'm good with other dogs, but I don't know when to stop playing, so I might annoy them sometimes. If you already have an energetic playful dog, we may be great together to keep each other busy. I do my best if I am let out to potty by myself. Otherwise, I will get distracted by the other dogs and won't go potty until I am back in my crate and remember that I have to go. I'm just a little bit all over the place. I also don't have any fear or sense of danger. For example, there are aggressive dogs in my foster home, but I don't sense it at all. I will approach their crates wanting to be friends and play no matter what! Even when they bark and growl at me, I will still try to approach and play with them. I have a superbly innocent 'puppy mind' and likely always will. I haven't been tested with cats or kids, but we think I would do well with older children who can handle my energy and excitability. I can also be cat-tested if you would like. I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, but I'm still working on my house, crate, and leash training. Please remember that I am still a young puppy who is learning new things now that I recently been placed in a stable environment. I'm looking for a forever home that can give me the love, care, and patience I require. My family will be committed to investing the time needed to work with me. I am located in Statesville, NC but can be transported to other locations for the right family.
