He's dog-friendly and plays well with others; his enthusiasm for fetching fun is contagious. An intelligent and active breed, Tucker isn't content being a mere decorative addition to the home. He needs a family that understands his working-dog nature, providing structure, exercise, and training. Potential adopters should note that Tucker is best suited for homes with older children due to his size and boisterous nature. Currently fostering in Texas, Tucker is undergoing heartworm treatment and will need continued veterinary care. He’s crate-trained, leash-trained, and already adjusted to the routine of daily walks. Tucker is eagerly waiting for his next chapter, filled with love, adventure, and plenty of belly rubs. If you think you can give this beautiful boy the forever home he deserves, apply today!
