About Tux

Tux is a 4-year-old, 76-pound mystery mix, likely a blend of Lab, Border Collie, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He’s a handsome, playful dog whose main goal is to shower his human with love and receive it in return. This guy is all about balls. Any ball will do, and he’s ready to chase it without hesitation. A securely fenced yard is a must for him to enjoy this crucial playtime fully. Tux also relishes adventures like hiking and car rides, especially when a stop for Starbucks pup cups is involved. He’s playful and enjoys exercise but isn’t overly hyper. After a fun day, he’s content to settle down with his favorite person. While Tux is great with kids over 10, he prefers to be the only pet in the home due to his selective criteria with other dogs. Unfortunately, he cannot live with cats; he has a firm stance against them. Tux needs a fenced yard, a stockpile of balls, and someone ready to give him ample affection. In return, he’ll treat you like royalty. If you’re ready to bring Tux into your life, apply online today. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
