Tubby is a fun boy, he enjoys toys and food, and he loves people and food, and he enjoys a yard and food, and don't let me forget to tell you he loves food.
While in our care he has been the perfect gentleman. It did take him a few days to figure out how to signal to us that he had to go outside but now he runs right to the back door when he has to go. His previous family would leash walk him but he much prefers to use his own yard. Did I mention he loves food?
Tubby is looking for a forever home with a stable family who just will allow him to be a dog. He needs a home with no small dogs or cats. He would also prefer a home with no small children, teenagers are fine. He prefers a fenced in yard to leash walking, although, short outings occasionally are okay. Finally, he's much prefer a home with a family who may have a work from home person, or are retired, or work only part time. He also wants me to tell you that he doesn't need a crate, in fact, being crated for long hours makes him a bit stressed out. He's okay eating in his crate but would prefer to otherwise not be crated. He also wants me to remind you he loves food and treats!! (Are you getting the idea yet?)
At our house Tubby in only crated while he eats, he likes his mealtime space and feels comfy in the crate and can eat at his leisure. When we go out he is allowed to be out but we only give him roam of the kitchen and sunroom. Otherwise he paces around looking for us. We muzzle him because he is left out with two of our other dogs. He does great with his muzzle on and has no problems wearing it. In the mornings he is super loving and enjoys hopping up on the big bed with us for snuggles. He is wiggly and happy and will gladly roll right over and show us his belly for rubbing. You can actually see him smiling during these morning happy times.
Tubby is simply looking for a home that will allow him to be a part of the family but not put a lot of expectations on him. He is most happy in his home with his people. He will do best with another Greyhound as he loves his greyhound buddies and understands the fun and unique quirks about Greyhounds.
I realize that Tubby may be asking for a lot in his forever home but he's worth it and he will gladly open up and give you all his trust and silliness once he gets used to his environment. He is the first to come when called and is always up for leaning in for a good rubbing.
PS - He's ooooooooober handsome and is highly food motivated!!
