Meet the delightful Tucker! This charming three-year-old male Shih Tzu is not just any pup; he’s a bundle of sweetness wrapped in a fluffy coat! 🐶 Weighing in at about 20 lbs, he carries the spirit of joy, though he does enjoy a dash of independence in his life. While Tucker is polite and tolerates other furry companions, he would absolutely thrive as the star of his own show in a single animal home! 🌟 With a heartwarming backstory that tug at the strings of anyone who hears it, Tucker came to us from the Memphis animal shelter two years ago. Sadly, his previous life took a heartbreaking turn when his beloved adopter was diagnosed with terminal cancer. But this resilient boy didn’t lose hope; he bounced back and is ready to fill a new home with love and joy! ❤️ However, every prince has his challenges, and Tucker is no exception. He arrived with some allergy woes, and he’s been on quite the journey to healing! After extensive allergy testing and treatment, including a series of shots, Tucker is on his way to feeling his best but may still require occasional Cytopoint shots to soothe that itchy skin. Plus, he benefits from regular medicated baths to keep him looking fabulous! 💦 And, let’s not forget about his dry eye—he’s a superstar who takes prescription eye drops to keep those peepers sparkling. 👀 Here’s the wonderful part: Tucker can be adopted with no adoption fee for the right family! If you've got an excellent vet reference and are willing to embrace all of his special needs with love and care, he’s the perfect companion waiting for you!
