Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tucson is a 2 year old, 52 lb Plott Hound mix who has a gorgeous brindle coat and an exuberant, social and happy personality.
Tucson loves life and greets each day as if it's the best day he's ever lived. This guys effervescent spirit is contagious and he is simply fun to be around. Tucson adores all people and wants to kiss the faces of everyone he meets. For this reason he would do best in home with sturdy, school aged children over the age of 10 who he will not knock down should he gleefully knock in to them during playtime or cuddle sessions.
Tucson loves pleasing his people and is highly trainable. He responds quickly to direction and wants nothing more than to eager your approval. Tucson is a dream on the leash, house trained, crate trained and a master of basic commands. Right now, Tucson's foster family works full time and he does just fine in the crate for up to 6 hours a day.
Tucson loves to go for walks and he loves to romp and play. He is the star of the dog park and has never met a pup he didn't like. Playful pups love Tucson right back and he has even won over some of the lazier, grouchier dogs as well. The same does not apply for kitties, unfortunately. Tucson thinks all kitties want to play chase with him and this is simply not the case.That being said, Tucson's ideal home is cat-free.
Tucson is a physically fit, agile, active dog who would love an active family to call his own. This guy adores the great outdoors and will make for an excellent hiking, snow-shoeing, rafting, running or overall adventure companion.
If you are looking for a light in your life, a forever best friend and a co-pilot to take on the world with, Tucson is your man. To adopt our beloved boy, email jessica@bigfluffydogs.com
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
