About Tubby

Meet Tubby, a gentle soul in search of a calm and loving environment. Surrendered by a breeder, he’s getting used to life outside of a kennel setting and would thrive in an adult home or one with older, respectful kids. At 8 years old and weighing 23 pounds, Tubby appreciates a predictable routine and the company of another dog to help him settle in comfortably. He’s affectionate, but you’ll need to earn his trust gradually, as he tends to be cautious at first. Tubby is already trained to use pee pads and is crate-trained, although he could benefit from basic training to help him adapt further. He’s neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and heartworm negative. Take the next step to bring joy into Tubby's life by reaching out today!
