Tofu

🐾 Meet Tofu - Please read in full before applying!

Tofu is a very independent little man with a big personality and a mind of his own. He can be incredibly affectionate with his chosen person and, once he decides you're his human, he loves nothing more than being close to you. He especially loves sleeping under the blankets right beside his person and makes the cutest little piggy noises when he's relaxed. 🐷❤️

Tofu is a low-energy boy who enjoys wandering around the house and doing his own thing. He enjoys short walks, but only when he's in the mood! He isn't the type of dog who wants to follow you everywhere and is happiest having the freedom to come and go on his own terms.

Tofu actually prefers being inside and isn't a fan of spending time outdoors. He will happily go outside when he needs to toilet, but otherwise he'd much rather be inside with his people. He can be stubborn about going outside when he doesn't want to, so his new owner will need patience and consistency.

He gets along with other dogs but isn't playful and prefers his personal space to be respected. If another dog gets too close, he may move away or give a warning growl. He generally ignores cats and is happy to give them their space.

Tofu is a strong-willed and stubborn little character. He can become defensive if he feels pressured, including when being picked up or when something he values is taken away. He has also shown that he may use his mouth when he thinks he can get away with it. His new owner will need to be experienced, confident and consistent, with clear boundaries and a good understanding of dog behaviour.

Tofu can experience separation anxiety when left outside and may bark or scratch at windows. When he is settled and comfortable, however, he is equally happy to curl up and go to sleep.
Tofu is also crate trained and loves his crate. He will happily put himself to bed in it overnight, making it a safe and comfortable space for him.

🏡 Tofu's ideal home
Tofu needs an adult-only home with someone who is home for most of the day or can take him along with them. He would suit someone who appreciates an independent dog, is confident managing a strong personality and is prepared to provide structure, consistency and clear boundaries.

❌️ No kids
❌️ Dislikes being kept outside for long periods of time
✔️ Cats yes
✔️ Slow introduction to other dogs can be reactive at first
✔️ Crate trained

Tofu may be stubborn, quirky and very much his own little person, but he has a wonderfully affectionate side once he chooses you. He is funny, loving and full of personality, and for the right person, he will make a very special companion. ❤️🐾
