Hi everyone, my name is Stephen! Im a 5-month-old lab mix, and Ive got a heart overflowing with love and enough energy to keep the fun going all day long.<br/><br/>Im just a happy puppy who loves to play-whether its with kids, other dogs, or just me and my favorite toy when Im hanging out by myself. Ive never met a cat yet, but with a patient, slow introduction, I bet we could be great friends too!<br/><br/>Since Im still young, Im ready to learn all the things that will help me grow into the best dog I can be. For now, I just want to run, play, snuggle, and give my whole heart to my new family.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a playful, loving pup to bring joy and laughter into your life, come meet me-I cant wait to be your new best friend!

Story
Meet Chubb — a 10-year-old senior sweetheart with a shy heart. ❤️ Chubb can be very reserved when meeting new people, especially men, but he is never aggressive. Once he feels safe and opens up, he becomes your loyal little shadow and wants to be involved in everything you do. He’s great with other dogs and does well with kids, though we’re unsure how he is with babies. Chubb is house trained, kennel trained, and already knows simple commands like sit, down, and kennel. This handsome senior boy definitely prefers being the center of attention — ideally curled up right in your lap. He has the cutest little nervous “smile” that melts hearts instantly. Chubb is stoic, loving, and deeply loyal to his people. He just needs someone patient enough to let him bloom. submit an application on our website https://savingdeathrowdogs.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption to learn moreVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 24, 2026, 5:32 pm
