Meet Denny (aka Tubby) 5 years old · About 18 lbs On paper, Denny is a Shih-Tzu/Yorkie mix. In person, we see the Shih-Tzu right away (that judgmental stare is unmistakable), but the Yorkie part is still missing. Our best guess is a little Lhasa Apso, plus what can only be described as a corgi butt. Whatever he is, he’s one of a kind. His foster family calls him “Tubby,” lovingly, because he has the shape and athleticism of a bathtub. Denny came to us as an owner surrender, and he’s ready for a home where he can live his best quiet life. Will he go for a walk? Sure, at his own pace, and that pace is not fast. Denny is a couch potato at heart, and his very favorite place in the world is his human’s lap. He isn’t much of a barker. If he feels neglected, though (meaning he isn’t the center of your attention), he will let you know with some world-class moping. Thanks to his short stature, Denny is not much of a jumper. So far he has mastered going up exactly one small step before calling it a day. He’ll happily hop down from the couch or bed, but going up is another story. Don’t bother with pet stairs; he won’t attempt them. Instead, he’ll give you that look that says, “Pick me up, human.” Come bedtime, he loves a cozy dog bed, but snuggling up with his humans is even better. Another great perk: Denny loves a good bath and brush! Fitting for a guy nicknamed Tubby, he’s happy to soak up the spa treatment, which makes keeping that Shih-Tzu coat looking its best a breeze. Denny gets along with quiet, reserved dogs, but young, playful pups make him wary. He can also get a little jealous if another dog gets too much of your attention, since he believes all lap time belongs to him. He’d do best as an only dog or with a companion who loves naps as much as he does. Because he’s so laid back, a home without young children would suit him best. Denny has excellent potty manners, as long as you go with him. Heading out to the backyard alone is not his jam. He prefers a hype squad, so bring your best “good boy!” cheers. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key lap warmer who will judge you lovingly from across the couch, Denny might be your guy.
