About this Dog
This 4-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix is a gentle, goofy lovebug who’s ready to be your new best friend! Tugboat is deaf, but don’t let that fool you—he’s incredibly tuned in and responds beautifully to hand signals and your energy. He’s mellow, sweet, and polite, making him a dream roommate for apartment living or laid-back homes. Tugboat adores his routines, his ball (though fetch is more of a comedy act), and his people. He’s great in crowds, friendly with everyone he meets, and will happily snooze at your feet or lay his head in your lap for some quiet affection. He's housetrained, non-destructive, and walks like a pro on leash—no pulling, barking, or fuss. His ideal match? Someone who’s almost always home or loves to take their dog everywhere. Tugboat experiences separation anxiety and will thrive with someone who wants a constant companion, a co-pilot for life’s adventures, or a buddy for slow mornings and errands alike. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion with a heart of gold (and the best "awoo"s), Tugboat’s your guy! Just be ready to commit to a lifestyle where he won’t be left behind—because for Tugboat, that’s when the world stops making sense.

Contribute to Tugboat's Stash!
100% of Tugboat's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Tugboat.
Adopt Tugboat and Receive Tugboat's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Tugboat's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Tugboat's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Tugboat, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Tugboat's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Tugboat was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Tugboat’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Tugboat’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Tugboat’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
