Meet Puffy: Professional Napper, Aspiring Zoo Keeper, and Certified Good Boy
Ladies and gentlemen, roll out the red carpet because Puffy is here to steal your sofa—and your heart. This handsome, big ol’ marshmallow of an American Bulldog comes equipped with stunning looks (seriously, models are jealous) and a nap schedule tighter than a CEO’s calendar.
Puffy’s daily agenda?
Sleep while you “work” (he knows you're watching TikToks).
Grace you with his presence during TV time.
Briefly pounce on his beloved blue jolly ball in the yard—just enough to remind you he could be an athlete.
Return to the couch for another nap. Repeat as needed.
But Puffy is more than just a handsome face and a champion napper. This guy is basically Dr. Doolittle—he’s lived with cats, parrots, and even giant tortoises. He’s ready to run your household like a gentle, slightly wobbly zookeeper. Speaking of wobbly, Puffy has a neurological condition that makes him a little unsteady on his paws, so he’s looking for a calm, quiet home where he can stay safe on the first floor (stairs are for peasants anyway).
Training? Puffy’s got that down. He knows "sit," "down," and "place," and will do anything for praise. Seriously—call him a good boy and he’ll move mountains for you (or, at least, move slightly faster toward his next nap). Treats also work wonders, because Puffy knows snacks are life.
Ready to upgrade your life with Puffy, the world’s handsomest, snooziest and most lovable sidekick? Follow his adventures on Instagram at @omg_its_puffy to see how ridiculously adorable he is.
Puffy’s just looking for a comfy couch, a quiet home, and someone to call him a good boy forever. Will it be you?
