Here's what the humans have to say about me:
July 2016 update: Tucker is a handsome fun boy! He is a lab mix who is about 2 1/2 years old. He weighs about 45 lbs and is full grown and a great medium size. Tucker loves to meet new humans and, being so handsome, he always gets attention. He was saved by our southern rescue partners after he'd been hanging around a gas station in a very rural area for about a month. People would go in the gas station and bring him biscuits. He then started following people around town and they were worried he was going to get hit by a car because he would walk in the middle of the street. Tucker is housebroken, crate trained and spends the workday with full access to his foster home (without incident). He is a fence jumper/climber - he has scaled a wooden and chain link fence; he does well with a long-lead, runner or stationary hitch-point and shouldn’t be left outside unattended.
Tucker is a real goofball (he has been known to chase his own tail) and is a total sweetheart. Tucker is a very energetic guy who likes to go for walks or explore in the woods - he’s just a petite medium guy who acts like a big dog outside and like a lap dog inside. He likes to curl up with his foster dad in his recliner, and sleeps each night on the couch. He plays with his foster sister Lexi (a 2014 Lucky Pup alum) and can be rough, but when she has had enough, he knows how to stop. Tucker is extremely agile and can jump really high. He excels at his foster home’s agility course. Tucker is respectful of his humans, does not beg for food and he loves to ride anywhere in the car. He wouldn't mind being an “only” or to find the perfect canine buddy to pal around with.
Tucker graduated from obedience class with his foster family and he is a rock star! At home he is wonderful with his furry foster sister, his human brother, and has been accepting to other foster dogs that have been introduced for outings and weekends. He uses a long lead outdoors and loves to play and explore. He even works with his foster dad outdoors in the rain or enjoys being tethered around the fire on a weekend night. Tucker can be picky about dog friends he likes to meet, but has undergone socializing training is becoming a good dog park dog. He can be awkward with new dog introductions but with careful introductions he has been able to socialize with other dogs in an off-leash setting. Tucker really wants a proactive, athletic, outdoor-oriented adoptive family.
Tucker’s foster family tells us: “he snuggles with his people in the house, listens to his humans, has learned some commands, and is very treat-oriented. We are working on walking without pulling, Tucker is excited to see what is up ahead, but will stop on command and sit to wait when instructed. Tucker has a lot of energy and is always excited to play tug-of-war with his rope toy or run around at the dog park, and when it’s time to crash, he likes to find a person to snuggle up with.”
Tucker entered a 5K run with his foster dad and was a total rock star. He was barely winded when they crossed the finished line and was looking for friends to play or run more with!

Please note, we do not have a physical location, but we are supported by a network of wonderful foster homes that are spread throughout New England. A dog will need to be visited by a prospective adopter in the foster home where they are feeling safe and comfortable.
