National Deaf Dogs Rock Day started in 2015 as a way celebrate our deaf boxer Nitro’s birthday.  Nitro was the inspiration behind the national non-profit organization Deaf Dogs Rock – an organization which works to find homes for deaf dogs in need and provides educational and financial support to deaf dog families, shelters, and rescues.

MISSION

The mission of National Deaf Dogs Rock Day is to bring awareness to how much fun living with a deaf dog can be! On this day we celebrate the joy that deaf dogs bring to our lives, and that deaf dogs can do ANYTHING a hearing dog can do. Read more about extraordinary deaf dogs that work as therapy dogs and excel in K9 sports.
