Meet Tugboat

2 years old | 24 pounds

Around here, he answers to Tugboat, Tugman, Tug Tug and probably anything else if snacks are involved.

Tugboat had a rough start, so he can be a little shy when meeting someone new. Give him a little time to realize he’s safe, though, and this 24-pound guy turns into a total love bug.

He’s already got plenty going for him:

  • Good on leash
  • Crate trained
  • Very food motivated and ready to learn
  • Did great with both cats and dogs in his foster home
  • Equipped with an absolutely irresistible underbite

Tugboat is looking for a person or family who can show him just how good life can be. A little patience, a few treats, and plenty of love will go a long way with this sweet boy.

Come meet Tugboat and help him find the home he’s been waiting for.

Meet Sunny

Big orange cat. Even bigger heart.

Sunny’s personality is every bit as bright as his name.

This affectionate orange guy is a friend to just about everyone, cats, dogs, and especially people willing to provide a lap. Sunny loves being cuddled, held like a baby, and snuggling right up against your face.

Sunny does have some special medical needs. He experiences seizures that are currently managed with two medications. His future adopter will need to keep him on a consistent medication schedule and maintain regular veterinary care, including refills, bloodwork, and checkups.

What Sunny gives back is pretty wonderful: an easy-going, affectionate companion who would happily spend as much time as possible curled up beside you.

Could your home be Sunny’s special place?

Whether you’re looking for a pint-sized adventure buddy with an unforgettable underbite or a big orange lap cat with endless love to give, come meet this week’s Pets of the Week at the RHSPCA.
