QUICK FACTS: ✔️ Good with other dogs! ✔️ Good with cats! ✔️ Crate trained! ✔️ Good in the car! ✔️ Loves to play! ✔️ Good running buddy!
If you are looking for a dog with the face of a Golden Retriever but in a tiny package, Tucker might be your guy! He is a stray from a Texas shelter, so we don’t know anything about his exact age, background or breed mix. I call him my little mini Golden!
Tucker is a happy pup who loves life. He gets very excited to meet other dogs and wants to play with them right away. He can be shy around new people initially and may bark at them, but warms up quickly if they get down to his level. Once he warms up he will jump all over you and lick you. He met my barn cats and was very polite and wagged his tail at them, although he could tell they did not want to play so he gave them some distance. He is on the higher end of the energy spectrum and loves to run around the yard and play chase with my dogs. He plays so nicely and everyone loves him.
Tucker is not yet potty trained so he goes outside on a schedule and is crated when not being supervised. He has not had any accidents with this routine. He cried a little in his crate at first but has learned the rules very quickly and now he is very good in his crate. He knows the command “go to your bed” and knows that he gets a little treat when he goes inside, so he is very eager to find his crate when it’s time for naps and bedtime. He sleeps quietly all night until he hears me get up around 8-9 am. He will start to make excited noises as soon as he hears me get up, so he may not be the best apartment dog. He tries very hard to be quiet but sometimes his exuberance gets the best of him.
Tucker would love to live with another playful dog but would also settle for being an only dog as long as he gets lots of play dates, dog park trips or doggy daycare. He will need an active owner who will give him lots of playtime and cuddles.
Adoption can be finalized after 6/11 neuter appointment.
