🐾 Hi… I’m Happy! 🐾

Yep, that’s really my name — and everyone says it fits me perfectly. I’m a 9-year-old pitbull with a handsome charcoal grey coat and a few dapper tan accents that make me look extra distinguished. I’m basically a big, smooshy marshmallow.

I arrived as a stray, so my past is a bit of a mystery. What I do know is that I’m ready for a soft couch, kind humans, and lots of love.

You might notice my adorable little wobbly walk — it gives me a bit of extra character and makes people smile wherever I go. The vet took some X-rays and let us know I have arthritis and hip dysplasia, which means my joints need a little help staying comfortable. With medication and a cozy place to relax, though, I’m doing just fine. Honestly, I’m not training for a marathon anyway — I’m much more of a couch potato.

My favorite things include:
• Leaning into people for pets
• Showing off my smooshy, slobbery cheeks
• Napping like a professional
• Being told I’m a good boy (which I am, obviously)

The humans here say I have excellent manners. I’ve done well meeting other dogs and even cats, and I’m such an easygoing guy that they think I’d likely do great with kids too — as long as they remember I’m a gentleman with creaky hips and not a jungle gym.

Right now I’m just hoping for a soft place to land. A forever home would be amazing, but even a foster home would make my world brighter. The only thing I really don’t want… is to stay here in the shelter.

If you’ve got a comfy couch, a little patience for an older gentleman, and room in your heart for a very mushy, very happy dog, I’m definitely your guy!
