This year our 10th Annual Deaf Dogs Rock Day is on September 20, 2025. We celebrate all things Deaf Dogs Rock related on this very special day. National Deaf Dogs Rock Day started in 2015 as a way to celebrate our deaf boxer Nitro’s birthday. Our deaf boxer Nitro (who has since passed away) is the inspiration behind our non-profit organization and website Deaf Dogs Rock. Deaf Dogs Rock works with shelters, individuals, and rescues connecting all the dots to get deaf dogs at risk into the safe arms of partner rescues throughout the United States. We also provide educational resources for new deaf dog families and shelter staff as a support system to help each person navigate training and raising a deaf dog or puppy to be the very best they can be. We believe deaf dogs have super powers and are much more in tune to the humans around them. Deaf Dog Awareness week kicks off the following day on Sunday September 21 – September 27, 2025. 

 

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.
