My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Chubbs — the quiet heart who’s learning how to shine.

Chubbs isn’t the kind of dog who bursts into a room with tail wags and kisses — he’s the kind who takes his time. But once he feels safe, you’ll see a softer side emerge: gentle tail wags in the morning, leaning in for pets, and quiet moments of trust that feel like pure gold.

This sweet boy has come so far in his foster home. He’s calm and easygoing indoors, content to nap in a sunny spot or chew on a favorite toy. Outside, he loves to run and play — especially when toys are involved (fetch is a work in progress, but he’s getting there!).

Chubbs is happiest around other dogs. They help him feel confident and comfortable in new situations, so a home with a friendly canine companion would be ideal. He’s still learning that human touch is safe and comforting, but he continues to make steady progress every day.

He’s looking for a patient, understanding home — one that’s calm, predictable, and willing to let him move at his own pace. A securely fenced yard where he can explore freely would be perfect for him.
Chubbs may not be your “love at first sight” dog, but he’ll be the one who stays in your heart. Watching him learn, trust, and finally relax is something truly special.

Adopt Chubbs and be part of his journey — from shy and uncertain to safe and loved.

More about this rescue

Dogs Deserve Better is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained or penned dog and bringing our best friend into the home and family.

Our mission is to provide a better life for abused, neglected and abandoned canines; especially those which are chained or penned without human companionship. We strive to accomplish this through advocating for humane legislation; promoting spay and neuter; educating communities on animal welfare; and rescuing and finding loving inside homes for canines.
