About Tucker COURTESY LISTING

Tucker is a 7-year-old neutered male Border Collie looking for a person to call his own. He’s sweet and smart, often choosing to stay close to his special someone, whether that’s on the couch, during a walk, or in the car. Tucker thrives in an adult-only home and would prefer to be the only pet, as he can be selective with other animals and feels nervous around young children. This energetic dog enjoys toys, fetch, and cuddling, with a need for daily exercise and playtime. He knows commands like "sit," "stay," and "fetch/drop," and has a unique trick of using his "inside voice" when asked. House-trained and crate-trained, he also walks well on a leash and is calm when left alone during the workday. Tucker came from a home where he was overweight and must continue on a prescription weight-loss diet with regular exercise. His ideal family is active, patient, and committed to helping him thrive in a loving environment. Tucker would be the perfect companion for someone who enjoys playing fetch in the yard and then unwinding with a reliable, loyal dog. If you're interested in adopting him, please contact Tom at (518) 925-3248 or tomlegodais@gmail.com. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
