Groundhog the Boy with a Happy Tongue

Ready to smile all day, every day? Meet Groundhog! This delightful boy is 10% tongue, 90% happy, and 100% ready to be your new best friend. Groundhog is a total social butterfly who thinks every human he meets is a potential best friend. He's a velcro companion who lives for connection, and his favorite thing is to lean his whole weight against you, burying his head in your lap to show he's by your side. You can see his signature "Booty Boogie" dance in action in his video!

We believe this handsome fella with the unique coat is a Pitbull mix, weighing in at a sturdy 47 lbs. He's a big dog with an even bigger heart, and he still thinks he's a lap dog! His tongue is truly the star of the show – a massive, happy pink marvel that's constantly out, showcasing his pure joy. For Groundhog, the forecast is always "Tongues Out!"

Groundhog is thriving in a foster home where he's learning to share with an older dog, a small dog, and even a cat. His foster family says his most amazing quality, besides his adorable tongue, is his incredible goofiness – he's a comedian who keeps everyone laughing! He's affectionate, loves to hang out, and soaks up all the head rubs he can get. He's a sensitive, sweet gentleman who approaches every day with a wagging tail and a heart full of joy.

Groundhog is a friend to all dogs, no matter their size. He has a sweet, thoughtful way of making friends, sometimes pausing to "read the room" before deciding you're his best friend. He's more of a chill vibes guy and would do best with a low to medium energy dog, but he's also perfectly happy to be your one and only! He's a bit shy with kitties, but we can arrange a "kitty slumber party" to see if they might become besties.

Ideal Home

Groundhog's dream home includes a fenced-in yard where he can zoom, "boogie," and sunbathe. He's looking for a family that understands that the best things in life are worth a little extra love and patience.
