About Tucker

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Tucker is a long-term stray who grew up on the streets of Tulsa, sharing his days with his dad Conley and becoming the beloved 'mayor' of his stray pack. He’s always been cared for by kind-hearted, unhoused people in his community, so he's comfortable around humans and has never been feral. Tucker experienced two seizures, most likely triggered by trazodone, so this medication should be avoided in the future. Despite a tough start and an initial bout with ehrlichia (a tickborne disease that’s been fully treated), Tucker is remarkably healthy. His bloodwork is excellent, he’s heartworm negative, and his appetite is strong. Tucker has quickly adapted to routine, is eager to please, and enjoys the company of other dogs. He’s been neutered, is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and receives preventatives. Tucker is a beautiful, medium-coated, mellow young dog seeking a cozy home where he can finally experience a real family life instead of boarding. His calm, friendly nature makes him an easy foster and a great candidate to become an emotional support animal for someone special. Ready to help him start his next chapter?
