About Tucker

Tucker is a big, gentle boy with a lot of sweetness and energy to offer. He loves stretching his legs in the yard and is happiest when he can run and play to his heart's content. Tucker listens well and knows a few basic commands already. When it comes to mealtime or enjoying a treat bone, he prefers doing so undisturbed in his crate and tends to be protective over his food. A fully fenced yard is a must for him, given his size and love of the outdoors. Tucker would likely thrive with a laid-back canine companion or as the only dog in the house, and he gets along with children. Ready to make Tucker part of your family?
