About Tucker

Tucker is an incredible boy, full of loyalty, affection, and a playful spirit. At 1.5 years old, this Basenji mix weighs around 70 pounds and embodies the essence of a gentle giant. His curiosity and independent nature make him an ideal companion for long walks and outdoor adventures. Tucker thrives with an experienced handler who can offer the structure, consistency, and exercise he needs. This boy prefers to be the one and only pet in a child-free home or with kids over 10, as his high energy and playful demeanor need a certain level of understanding. Currently, he’s still working on house training, so patience and commitment are essential for his new family. Tucker's journey began in the woods of Fouke, Arkansas, where he was found abandoned with his parents, ultimately becoming the lone survivor of his litter. Now fostered in Texas, he is ready to leave his past behind and find his forever family. If you're an experienced dog handler ready to provide Tucker with the love and structure he craves, he’ll reward you with endless devotion and joy. Are you the one he’s been waiting for?
