About Chubby
Chubby’s journey hasn’t been easy, but he’s come through it with good spirits and an open heart. Life started rough for him as a stray in NYC, injured and alone, but after a string of close calls and near-misses, he’s in a safe foster home and finally getting the chance he deserves. Chubby is an American Staffordshire mix, around 5 years old and about 60 pounds, with a brindle coat and a thing for lying on yoga mats—no interest in dog beds. He’s got lots of energy and clearly loves to run, play, and wrestle (he’ll do best with another playful dog in the home). He’s friendly with everyone he meets and gets along with dogs, cats, and older children; younger kids might be a bit much just due to his size and exuberance. Chubby is housetrained, leash-trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. His mind is sharp and he needs plenty of stimulation—whether it’s a walk, a car ride, or just a session with his favorite chew toy. He isn’t a fan of crates, likely associating them with his time at the shelter, but he makes up for it by being affectionate and eager to please. His foster says he’s enthusiastic, cuddly, and sometimes a little over-excited, so a strong, active adopter who can keep up with him is ideal. Chubby enjoys being dried off after a walk in the rain, and he wants someone who’s up for adventures and downtime alike. Entertaining, social, and eager to bond, Chubby is ready to find a forever home that fits his playful nature. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
