About Tucker

Meet Tucker. At just 8 months old, he's already the biggest lover among all the dogs we've had or fostered. Tucker adores snuggles and has no sense of personal space when he wants to get close. He loves to play and is treat-motivated, which makes him smart and eager to learn. He already knows how to sit and is kennel-trained. While he's mostly potty trained, he has had a few accidents, likely due to the rainy weather since arriving. Gentle and respectful around cats, Tucker also adores kids—he would be an excellent companion for a child. This affectionate pup would do well in a home with or without other dogs. He enjoys playtime but also values his own independence. Tucker is currently working on his leash training and is becoming quite the walking buddy. He's non-reactive to other dogs on a leash, so he’s perfect for anyone looking for a playful puppy without the heavy lifting of puppy training. Tucker’s adoption fee is $300. If you’re interested in making him part of your family, fill out the application on our website. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
