About Tux

Meet Tux, your future best friend. This distinguished gentleman, known as Agent Tux, is ready to leave his mysterious past behind. Once wandering through the Arizona heat, he spent days on a covert mission, eluding capture. He finally surrendered to a rescue operative armed with turkey and love. Upon arrival at the shelter, it became clear that Tux was a neglected soul needing care. At about 4 years old and weighing in at a solid 35 pounds, Tux is a delightful Shepherd mix with a handsome black coat. He’s slowly learning to trust people, finding joy in walks, brushing sessions, and those crucial booty scritches, which he insists are vital to his well-being. Tux is currently stationed at a boarding facility, yearning for a foster or forever home where he can finally let down his guard. He’s good with other dogs and, most importantly, is house trained. Can you be the hero who helps Tux begin the happy life he’s always deserved? Start your journey together! Apply now.
