About Platypus "Pladdy"

Meet Platypus, but you can call him Pladdy!

If you've ever wondered what would happen if a platypus somehow turned into a dog, we're pretty sure the result would be Pladdy. This almost 2-year-old pocket pittie is a delightfully goofy boy with a personality as unique as his name. Pladdy is famous for his silly snorting noises, awkward movements, and absolutely adorable run that can only be described as "organized chaos." Thanks to some neglect earlier in life, his front legs are a little bowed and extra large, giving him an even more platypus-like appearance. Don't worry though – Pladdy doesn't let that slow him down one bit! He gets around just fine and seems completely unaware that he looks hilariously adorable while doing it.

Pladdy is a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs. He loves to play and brings a whole lot of enthusiasm to the party. Like many pitties, he enjoys mouthy wrestling games and often accompanies playtime with an assortment of funny noises. His play style can be a little over-the-top for some dogs, but he has a lot of fun with canine friends who appreciate his goofy energy and are happy to join in on the fun. He's also surprisingly great with cats! Pladdy enjoys having feline friends around, especially cats that don't mind a little playful interaction and might even be interested in sharing a cuddle session afterward. Pladdy adores kids and loves being part of the action. However, because he's still learning that random items left on the floor aren't automatically his personal treasures, we think he'd do best in a home with teenage children or older. This sweet boy is both house-trained and crate-trained. While he can be a little timid when meeting new people – especially men – once he feels safe, his loving personality shines through. Pladdy would do best in a quieter home where he can build confidence and doesn't have to constantly adjust to new visitors coming and going. If you're looking for a dog who will make you laugh every single day, fill your home with silly noises, goofy antics, and endless entertainment, Pladdy might just be the wonderfully weird best friend you've been waiting for. He may not be an actual platypus, but he's definitely one-of-a-kind!
