Hi, I’m Stumpy. If you picture a dog whose tail keeps time with your laughter and eyes that sparkle with curiosity, you’ve met me already. I’m happiest when I’m basking in a warm sunbeam, noseing along a grassy trail, or settling into a cozy spot with a gentle pat from someone who sees me. I’m 2 years old, full of bounce and heart, always ready to greet a new day with a wag and a grin. I may have energy to spare, but I’m also a pro at slowing down for a cuddle and a quiet moment when the world feels a little big.
Other dogs light me up—they’re some of my favourite people. A park full of sniffing, zoomies, and friendly barks sounds like heaven to me. I’m a sociable soul who loves company, and I read a room with a wag of my tail. I crave daily opportunities to learn about life—meeting new dogs, exploring fresh scents, and trying simple new things. I’m moderately adaptable and may need a touch of time and gentle encouragement in new surroundings. I bring a high-energy buzz to the day—think games, movement, and shared adventures—paired with a heart that wants to please. For safety and happiness, I’ll need a secure outdoor space: a 6ft fence with footings, plus a home that offers a cozy indoors-and-outdoors rhythm.
The kind of home that fits me best is breed-savvy and calmly active. I’d do well in a quiet, gentle environment where steady guidance helps me settle in and keep growing. A family with the energy to keep up with daily outings and training-style moments would be ideal, and I’m best suited to a household with children aged 6 years and older. I seem to get along with other dogs, so a dog-friendly home would be a bonus, provided there’s a patient setup for me to learn and adapt. I’d love to meet you—if you think we could be a good match, please come by to say hello or apply to adopt.
