Looking for a reason to smile every single day? Meet Groundhog, a 47 lb bundle of joy who is 10% tongue, 90% happy, and 100% ready to be your new best friend! This sweet soul is a social butterfly who thinks every human he meets is a friend he hasn't danced for yet. He's the ultimate velcro companion, living for connection and leaning his whole weight into you, burying his head in your lap to show you he's by your side. You can see his signature "Booty Boogie" dance in his video!
Groundhog is a handsome Pitbull mix with a unique coat and an even bigger heart. He's small enough to believe he's a lap dog, and who are we to tell him otherwise? His most prominent feature is his massive, happy pink tongue that is always out, showcasing his pure joy. When it comes to Groundhog, the forecast is always "Tongues out!" because he's just a happy guy. He's currently thriving in a foster home with an older dog, a small dog, and a cat, where he's been crowned Master of the House. His foster family raves about his incredible goofiness and how he keeps everyone laughing. He's a super affectionate, hang-out kind of guy who loves the comforts of home and soaking up head rubs. He's a sensitive, sweet gentleman who tackles every day with a wagging tail and a heart full of joy.
Ideal Home
Groundhog would thrive in a home with 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. He'd be best paired with a low to medium energy dog, but he's also perfectly happy to be your one and only star. Groundhog is a bit shy around kitties, but a "kitty slumber party" can be arranged to see if he'd be willing to share the couch.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Groundhog is a social, dancing, tongue-out treasure who is ready to bring his happy energy to a family of his own. He's a gentle companion who fits into almost any pack and promises to bring a 100% chance of sunshine to your home!
