About Tux

Meet Tux, a very sweet and gentle male Pointer mix. At 1.5 years old and about 65 lbs, this gentle giant has a tricolor coat of brown, black, and white. He’s great in public and interacts well with children, making him a wonderful family companion. While he does get a bit anxious when left alone in a crate, he doesn’t pay much attention to other animals. Tux is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He hasn't directly interacted with cats yet, so it's hard to say how he would do with them. If you’re looking for a loving and food-motivated buddy, Tux could be the perfect match.
