Tug Boat

Isn't there always room for one more? When the animal shelter asked us to consider a couple of dogs that were coming to their end of availability we had to go check. We met Tug Boat who is is just like his name suggests. He's a short stocky dog who looks like he could tow a boat. He's actually much smaller than his pictures portray at only about 40-45 lbs. He is about knee high. His coat is SEAL, it is neither brown nor black. It is darker down his back than on his
sides. We think he might have a little bit of staffordshire bull terrier mixed in with his pit bull because he looks like someone took a full sized pit bull and put him in the dryer. His face is a little rounder and muzzle a bit shorter and his ears are a little bit smaller. His bone structure is a bit delicate. He's too tall of course to be a staffy but those few characteristics give us an idea
there could be just a hint there.

Tug has a nice personality. He's very wiggly and happy to meet everyone. He hasn't met a single person that hasn't been his very best friend. He is just a wiggle monster when he's around people. He has been fine with other dogs so far and he has met a few both in the shelter and out. He seems concerned when meeting a new dog as if he is not sure how it's going to go. If the other dogs are friendly he breathes a sigh of relief. He seems like he may have had some negative experiences with other dogs in his past. He was a bit reactive to cats but responsive to correction and easily focused back on his person.

Tug also has a three to four inch scar across the front of his neck where it looks like a collar had begun to grow into his skin. Most likely when he was a puppy and began to outgrow his collar while no- one noticed.
