About Hubby D

Hubby D is a naturally shy pup. Noisy or hectic places, especially those with loud children, can be a lot for him. He’s a little too interested in cats, so a cat-free home is a must. In calm, patient surroundings, Hubby’s quirky personality is starting to emerge: he’ll do full-body wiggles, peer at you from around the corner, and even army-crawl toward you for treats. Each time he tries something new, you can see trust taking root—a reward for anyone willing to go slow. Hubby came from a crowded shelter in Texas, so he’s still adjusting to a world where people are kind. He’ll need a steady routine, gentle encouragement, and a quiet home to build confidence. Give him some time, and your patience will be met with loyal companionship, endearing silliness, and plenty of affection. If you prefer a home that’s more peaceful, Hubby could be the sweet, sensitive dog you’re looking for. Born September 28, Hubby’s a Libra—a sign known for loyalty and sweetness.
