About Tux

Tux is a charming little guy who recently arrived from a high-intake shelter. At just 5 months old, he’s still a baby, so there’s plenty of time for you to bond and train him. Since he’s new, our staff is getting to know him better and will share updates as they learn more. Currently, he’s pending vet clearance before interacting with other animals. This means we’re not yet sure about his house, crate, car, or leash training status. If you’re drawn to Tux and feel you might be the right fit, please submit an adoption questionnaire. We handle applications on a first-come, best-match basis, and we encourage everyone in your household to meet him to ensure a perfect match. If all goes well, you could take your new companion home that same day! His adoption fee includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations to set you up for a happy start together. Make your move towards finding your new best friend!
