Story
Meet Tum Tum — a super low-maintenance smaller dog who is looking for a chauffeur/forever family to drive him around town and help write the next chapter of his life: “Driving Mr. Tummy.”
While some dogs are fixated on their ball or their daily walk, Tum Tum’s all-consuming obsession is the car. He would sit in the passenger seat all day long if he could. Beyond his insatiable desire to be in the car, Tum Tum is truly the easiest dog ever.
Tum Tum is approximately 3 years old and the perfect small to medium size at just 33 lbs. He is a mix of 19 different breeds according to his breed test — an equal mix of small and large breeds. Chihuahua (15 percent) and Husky (14 percent) were the top two breeds. He’s potty trained, crate trained and not destructive.
Tum Tum could sit outside by himself all day and be perfectly content. He’s independent and self-sufficient. He’s never had much and does not expect much. He enjoys sitting next to you and getting belly rubs, but he’s not a needy lap dog.
He gets along splendidly with other dogs, enjoys the company of children and is completely neutral around cats. He rarely barks and is calm and respectful on a leash, making him very easy to walk. Although Tum is a tripod, so short walks are more his speed. Tum broke his front leg as a younger dog. Sadly it was never properly fixed, and it recently had to be amputated. But he gets around great on three legs.
Tum Tum is looking for a home with a fenced yard so he can enjoy sitting outside. He doesn’t need a super active family, just someone who likes to take him on car rides occasionally. He would do great with a less active older person or even a young family who only has the bandwidth for the easiest of dogs. He would love accompanying the kids to school drop off. Any excuse for a car ride!
Please apply today if you can give Tum Tum his perfect forever home. Car rides are a must!
