About Tux

Tux is a 4-year-old, 76-pound mystery mix, likely a blend of Lab, Border Collie, and possibly a bully breed. He’s a striking dog with a playful spirit and a strong desire to connect with his human. This big guy loves balls of all kinds and will chase anything you throw. He thrives in a securely fenced yard where he can unleash his energy. Tux enjoys hiking, rides in the car, and visits to Starbucks, where he believes pup cups should be exclusively for him. Tux has a friendly and energetic demeanor without being overly hyper. He appreciates exercise and adventure but also knows how to relax with his favorite person. He gets along well with kids over 10, or younger ones if they’re sturdy. Tux can be selective about his dog friends, so he will do best as the only dog in the home. He has zero tolerance for cats. To adopt him, you’ll need a fenced yard and a willingness to be adored. In return, he’ll shower you with affection. This is his mission in life: to be a devoted companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
