About Tucker Deaf

Your new best friend is just one click away. Tucker is a sweet and affectionate boy who was surrendered by his previous owner due to a lack of time to care for him. He adores people and thrives on human interaction, but he is looking for a home where he can be the only pet. Tucker is not suitable for a family with cats or small animals, and he is most comfortable as the sole furry companion, as he prefers not to share his space or affection. Tucker is house trained and handles well on leash, though he may get a little excited and tug on walks. He is a quick learner and already knows many basic skills, making him an excellent candidate for continued training and bonding. Tucker's ideal home will be one that can provide him with regular physical exercise and mental stimulation, and a fenced yard is preferred for his safety. While deaf dog experience is beneficial, it is not required to adopt Tucker. As an added bonus for local adopters, Devil Dog Fitness and Training will offer monthly training sessions for up to a year after adoption to help Tucker and his new family adjust and succeed together.
