About Tubby

Meet Tubby, the charming 8-year-old Pomeranian who deserves a second chance at love. He's part of a trio along with Squeaky and Buggy, and they share a heartwarming bond formed during tough times. After their previous owner went into hospice care, these three dogs lived together without consistent human companionship for two years. Now, Tubby is ready to settle into a loving home where he can thrive alongside his companions. With his tan coat and gentle spirit, Tubby may be a bit shy and cautious around new people. He will need a patient and understanding family willing to let him open up at his own pace. The bond he shares with Squeaky and Buggy is strong, and it's important they be adopted together. In a calm, adult-only home, Tubby can learn the joy of being part of a family. He gets along well with other small dogs and is ready to find the love he’s been missing. Together, this trio represents a wonderful opportunity for an understanding adopter to provide three deserving souls a forever home. The combined adoption fee for Tubby, Squeaky, and Buggy is $495. Each has been neutered or spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
