Tucker's journey began when he wandered into his previous human’s life and immediately made himself at home.

Tucker is around 11 years old, neutered, and has a solid medium build with a sleek short black coat. He is housebroken and lives comfortably indoors. Tucker adores children and has a protective streak, though he’s never shown any aggression—just the natural watchfulness of a devoted companion. While his compatibility with other dogs is uncertain, he seems to warm up to cats after a while. He doesn’t jump or climb fences, so a secure home environment will suit him perfectly. If you think you could be the right fit for Tucker, a veterinarian reference and home visit will be required as part of his adoption process.
