My story

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

Looking for a calm, loyal buddy to share your days (and couch) with? Meet Tofu, an 11 year young sweetheart who’s the perfect mix of mellow and affectionate.

Tofu’s favorite pastime is simply being near his people. He’ll quietly follow you from room to room with his tippy tap toes, happy just to be part of whatever’s going on. When it’s time to relax, he’s a world-class snuggler and loves curling up beside you or using his doggie stairs to join you on the bed or couch.

He’s wonderfully well-mannered, fully house-trained with regular 3-4 hour daytime breaks (8 hours overnight!) and does great in his crate when you’re away. Tofu thrives on a predictable routine, mealtimes, walks, and naps all in rhythm make him happiest.

Recently fresh from a dental cleaning, Tofu’s in great shape and doesn’t act a day over 8! He’s polite with cats and enjoys the company of other chill, low-energy dogs. You’ll rarely hear him bark, he’s quiet, gentle, and content to simply be your best little shadow.

If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate companion who’s easy to love and even easier to live with, Tofu might just be your perfect match.
