About Stubby
Meet Stubby, the sweetest little tripod pup with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. Stubby may be missing one paw, but don’t let that fool you—he keeps up just fine and doesn’t let it slow him down when it comes to exploring, playing, or soaking up affection.
This gentle boy loves people of all ages, from kids to adults, and is happiest when he’s surrounded by his family. At first introductions, he may pause to check out a new face or animal, but he warms up quickly and is a friendly companion to both people and pets. Stubby lives with several dogs and even a dog-savvy cat, and he enjoys playtime with his furry friends just as much as he enjoys quiet cuddles with his humans.
Like any puppy, he’s still learning the ropes. House training is going well, he’s getting the hang of leash walking, and he’s picking up on manners quickly—especially with the help of treats, since food is his favorite motivator. He does need a bit more work on resource guarding when it comes to mealtime, but he’s already showing progress and will thrive with consistent, patient training.
Stubby’s personality is a wonderful mix of playful and calm. For a puppy, he’s surprisingly chill, enjoying sniff walks, play sessions, and then curling up for a nap. At night, he sleeps peacefully and doesn’t fuss when left alone, making him an easy companion for many types of households.
With his gentle nature, resilience, and eagerness to love, Stubby is ready to grow up in a forever home that will guide him through his puppy stage and cheer him on as he gains confidence. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal pup who proves that a missing paw doesn’t hold back a full heart, Stubby is waiting to meet you.
