ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Tucker, the charming young pup with a heart full of hope and a curious spirit. Tucker's journey began in one of our partner shelters, though the details of his past remain a mystery to us. Despite his uncertain beginnings, Tucker's enthusiasm for life is infectious, especially when it comes to his interactions with other dogs. While we're unsure about his compatibility with cats and children, we're more than willing to conduct a cat test and advise a slow approach with younger kids due to Tucker's initial shyness.

Tucker may start off shy, but he quickly warms up and eagerly engages in chase play with his canine companions. He understands the importance of taking breaks during playtime, showing his considerate nature even in the midst of excitement.

In the safety of his crate, Tucker is a picture of calmness, settling in with ease. However, as a 7-month-old puppy, he's still in the process of mastering housebreaking and will need patient guidance from his future family.

While Tucker doesn't have many known manners yet, he shows promise in his willingness to learn. He may feel a bit nervous passing through doorways initially, but once outside, he walks nicely on a loose leash, his curiosity piqued by the sights and smells of the world around him.

Tucker's heart melts at the slightest display of affection, and he's always eager for a tasty treat or a playful session with his favorite toys. His love for dogs and training sessions knows no bounds. However, loud noises and sudden movements can startle him, so a calm and patient environment would be ideal for this gentle soul.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, sensitive companion like Tucker, contact us today to arrange a meeting. Together, you can embark on a journey filled with love, learning, and endless adventures. Adoption fees apply.
