He is a big dog with an even bigger heart! He’s small enough to believe he is a lap dog and who are we to tell him otherwise. Like all rescue superstars, his breed mix is a bit of a guess, but we’ve confirmed he is 100% purebred Good Boy! And about that tongue! It is truly the main event; a massive, happy pink marvel that is constantly unfurled, showcasing his pure joy. When it comes to Groundhog, the forecast is always "Tongues out! even when the sun isn't out, it’s still out because he’s just a happy guy! Groundhog is currently thriving in a loving foster home, where he has officially claimed the title of Master of the House!

Groundhog is a true friend to all dogs, and his fan club comes in every single size, from the teeny tiny littles to the big besties! He has a very sweet, thoughtful way of making friends sometimes he likes to pause for a second to read the room, almost as if he’s thinking back and wondering, "Wait, have we met? Are we best friends yet?" But don't worry, even if you’re a new face, Groundhog decides the answer is always Yes! He isn't much of a high octane wrestler; he’s more of a chill vibes kind of guy who would be best paired with a low to medium energy dog. That being said, he is also perfectly happy to be your one and only star and soak up all the attention himself! What about the feline friends? Groundhog is a bit of a shy guy when it comes to kitties! We can arrange a kitty slumber party (overnight with a cat) to see if he’d be willing to share a spot on the couch with a tiny tiger. It’s the best way for us to know if they can be besties! His dream home includes a fenced in yard where he can zoom, "boogie," and sunbathe to his heart’s content while he builds up his confidence on the leash. He’s looking for a family that understands that the best things in life are worth a little extra love and patience. Once he knows he’s home, he’ll be burying his head into you for snuggles every single day!
