🌟 Allow me to introduce you to Tucker, an absolute gem of a Heeler mix! At around 6 to 8 years young, this lovely senior isn’t just a couch potato—oh no! Tucker embodies playful energy as he dives into games of fetch or gymnastic routines with squeaky toys 🦴, yet he also adores the cozy warmth of a cuddle session 🛋️. With a heart full of love and a mind sharp as a tack, Tucker learns quickly and showcases his gentle manners, making him a delightful companion for any family. And guess what? He's fantastic with cats! 🐱 That's right—Tucker is the perfect addition to a multi-pet household, spreading joy and companionship every single day. 🐶 One thing to keep in mind is that adopting Tucker means embracing a loyal friend who is ready to fill your home with happiness. But wait, there’s more! Adopting a dog isn’t just a walk in the park. Remember that dogs are usually tested with others of similar sizes. It’s highly encouraged to set up meet-and-greets for a smooth transition, especially if there are furry friends already living in your home. Additionally, while Tucker plays well with cats, we always recommend keeping introductions safe and slow. When it comes to kids, Tucker’s energy and behavior are evaluated to ensure a good match, and remember, no child should be left alone with dogs, regardless of their temperament. Dogs might show different behaviors in a shelter than they will at home, so it's essential to provide the right environment as they settle in. Getting used to a new home can be a journey filled with ups and downs, especially for our furry friends. To help Tucker find his footing, use the Rule of 3! 📅 In the first 3 days, he might feel a bit scared, tired, or even too excited. By weeks 1–3, he’ll start to learn your routines and might show new quirks, so keep things calm and low-key. And after about 3 months, he’ll truly feel settled and more comfortable. So, let’s make this possible—Tucker is just waiting for you to change his life and yours! Apply to adopt the loveable Tucker through the Buddy App today! 🎉
