About Tux

Tux is a lively and loving 4-year-old male mix, featuring a blend of Border Collie and Staffordshire Bull Terrier traits. Weighing in at 76 pounds, he’s a big, handsome dog with a playful spirit. Tux believes his main purpose in life is to be adored, and he’ll happily return that affection in spades. This dog is a ball enthusiast, ready to chase anything you throw, so a securely fenced yard is a must. He thrives on adventure, whether that’s hitting the hiking trails or enjoying car rides, especially when they involve a stop at Starbucks for his cherished pup cup. While Tux isn’t hyperactive, he does enjoy his daily exercise and will gladly play fetch before settling down with you for some quality time. Tux is great with older kids or those who are sturdy enough to keep up with his energy. When it comes to dogs, he prefers to be the only one in the household due to his selective social criteria. Cats, however, are a hard pass for him. If you’re looking for an affectionate companion who wants to share adventures and be by your side, Tux is your guy. Ready to make a lifelong friend?
