Say hello to Sniffari, a 1 year old, 60 pound Boxer boy who's currently on a journey to fill out his frame—and your heart. Dumped at a shelter far too skinny, Sniffari is now thriving in foster care, gaining weight and love in equal measure.   True to his name, Sniffari is always ready to embark on scent-filled adventures around the yard, followed by long expeditions… straight into your lap. A certified snuggle scout, this handsome goofball prefers to be wherever you are—yes, he’s a Velcro dog with a Boxer’s signature bounce and a lover’s soul.   Daily Routine: Sniffari wakes up when the household stirs—around 7am on weekdays, though he’ll happily sleep in on weekends. After breakfast, he splits his day between cozy lap time and hanging out with his four canine foster siblings, ranging from a tripod Beagle to a 95-pound Coonhound (his cuddle BFF). With a big backyard to romp in, walks are occasional, though he’s getting the hang of leash life—slow and steady!   Dinner hits around 5pm, and bedtime usually means choosing one of the humans’ beds to crash in (because obviously).   Personality: From day one, Sniffari has been sweet, social, and full of love. He instantly bonded with both people and pups, and while he hasn't met kids yet, his gentle, affectionate nature suggests he'd do just fine. He’s playful but not hyper, curious about toys, and beginning to explore the world of fetch like it’s the next frontier.   House Manners: 90% potty trained   Uses the doggy door like a pro   Chews only on appropriate things (bones/toys)   Barks only when the pack does   Ideal Home: Sniffari would thrive in a home with another friendly dog and people who want a constant cuddle buddy. Whether you're working from home or just need a best friend to follow you from room to room, he’s your guy. As his foster puts it, “he’s a gift.”   Why Sniffari? Because he’s the kind of dog who reminds you what unconditional love looks like. From the way he leans into every pet to the gratitude in his eyes, Sniffari is the full package—gentle, goofy, loyal, and absolutely ready for his forever family.   Adopt Sniffari, and let your heart go on a permanent Sniffari of love.
