About Tucker

Tucker is a two-year-old red Siberian Husky with all that classic husky energy. More outgoing than his sister, CoCo, Tucker greets people enthusiastically and loves offering other dogs a playful invitation to romp. He’s spent his life outdoors and with only brief exposure to kids and a cat, so new introductions should be slow and patient—give everyone time to get comfortable. Tucker is used to being outside, but he’ll do best living indoors, adjusting to the routine and warmth of home at his own pace. He’ll thrive with daily enrichment and plenty of physical and mental activities; this is not a couch potato. If you want a striking, spirited husky to liven up your days, Tucker is ready to meet you. He’s available for preadoption and can join your family after his neuter surgery. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
