About Tucker

Meet Tucker, a delightful Chinese Crested mix ready for adoption. This little guy, just about 6 months old, was rescued from a backyard breeder in rural Tennessee. He’s been getting used to indoor living after spending his early months outside. Tucker has a playful spirit and loves to chase around with his foster brother, Kai. He’s full of affection and enjoys being held for long stretches. With a good appetite and a curious disposition, he’s transitioning smoothly into a home environment. While friendly towards other dogs, he hasn't been around children yet, so we recommend gentle kids over 12 who understand that small dogs like Tucker aren’t toys. Like all puppies, Tucker will benefit from continued house training, crate training, basic manners, and socialization. His future family needs to be prepared for the joy and responsibility of raising a young dog. Tucker’s vaccinations are up to date, and he’s microchipped. If you're ready to give this charming pup a loving home, he could be the perfect addition to your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
