About Tux

Tux is a 4-year-old, 76-pound mix, probably combining Lab, Border Collie, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier traits. This big, handsome dog is all about love; his goal is to cherish his human and be cherished in return. Tux has a passion for balls of all kinds. He’ll happily chase anything you throw, as long as he has a securely fenced yard to play in. He enjoys hiking, car rides, and frequent visits to Starbucks for his beloved pup cups. He’s a playful yet moderate spirit, enthusiastic about exercise but not overly hyper. After a good session of fun, he’s content to relax with his favorite person. Tux is good with kids over 10 but should be the only dog in the home due to his individual preferences for companions; he is not suited for homes with cats. He requires a secure fenced yard, some toys, and plenty of affection in return for the love he gives. If you want a loyal buddy who thinks you’re amazing, Tux is your guy.
