Tugboat

My story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis 4-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix is a gentle, goofy lovebug who’s ready to be your new best friend! Tugboat is deaf, but don’t let that fool you—he’s incredibly tuned in and responds beautifully to hand signals and your energy. He’s mellow, sweet, and polite, making him a dream roommate for apartment living or laid-back homes. Tugboat adores his routines, his ball (though fetch is more of a comedy act), and his people. He’s great in crowds, friendly with everyone he meets, and will happily snooze at your feet or lay his head in your lap for some quiet affection. He's housetrained, non-destructive, and walks like a pro on leash—no pulling, barking, or fuss. His ideal match? Someone who’s almost always home or loves to take their dog everywhere. Tugboat experiences separation anxiety and will thrive with someone who wants a constant companion, a co-pilot for life’s adventures, or a buddy for slow mornings and errands alike. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion with a heart of gold (and the best "awoo"s), Tugboat’s your guy! Just be ready to commit to a lifestyle where he won’t be left behind—because for Tugboat, that’s when the world stops making sense.
