Story
Meet Tum Tum — a 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.
Tum Tum is approximately three years old, has only three legs, and is 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.
He gets along with other dogs, enjoys the company of children and is completely neutral around cats. Tum Tum can be leery of men he does not know, but he loves his foster dad. It’s important that any man in the home wants to spend time with Tum Tum to develop a good relationship.
Tum Tum is calm and well-behaved when he’s on a leash, but short walks are more his speed. Tum broke his front leg as a younger dog. Sadly it was never properly fixed, and it had to be amputated.
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 does seem to do better with another dog in the home, but depending on the situation, he could be fine as an only dog.
Please apply today if you can give Tum Tum his perfect forever home. Car rides are a must!
