Denzel has a few lumps and bumps. It has been determined that he has some cancer cells. Don't let that scare you away. Denzel wants to be your best pal and have a family that will love him furever!

Hi, I’m Denzel—I’m a stunning, little overweight, good looking senior guy!   I’m the most easygoing boxer you’ll ever meet, and I’m hoping to find my forever family! I’m a sweet, laid back boy with a major love for naps (I might just be the world champion snoozer). Don’t let that fool you—I can still turn on the zoomies after a good meal, and I’ve even convinced the most stubborn Weimaraner in the house to join in on the fun! My playful side always comes out with my dog friends, both big and small.
I’m not interested in being king of the house—I’m happiest just being part of the family. I get a little grumbly (especially around new folks, mostly men), but honestly, it’s all bark and no bite. I just want some time to sniff and nudge in for a pet or two—then I settle right in once those scritches start. My foster family says I’m incredibly polite: I never jump, never get up on furniture, and only bark once to let you know I’m ready to come back inside. I’m quiet, well-mannered, and basically the perfect gentle companion—great for a calm home or to keep someone sweet company.
My absolute favorite move is to sit with my back toward you in hopes of a reverse belly scratch (trust me—you haven’t seen cute until you’ve seen me wiggle into position for this classic!). Sometimes I’ll even sit up on my hind legs so you get the perfect angle.
I have a couple of quirks that make me, well… me! I’m a champion snorer (my snores have been called “legendary”), and I do have one drooly side of my mouth thanks to a suspected cancer spot on my right lower lip. So, you might end up with a trail of drool on your leg every now and then—just a little reminder of my love! I love treats, eating (no worries there), and car rides (I snooze all the way).
I also enjoy a good dip in the pool—which means wet paws, but a towel by the door is all you need! For all my quirks, I know my commands, and my foster folks say I’m the best dog they’ve ever had.
If you’re looking for a mellow, loving, well-mannered best friend who’ll bring you laughs (and maybe a bit of drool), I’m your guy—Denzel!
