Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tucker is a 2 year old male black lab who has had a tough life so far. He was found, abandoned, on a farm, while he was trying to join in on the wedding of one of our volunteers. After watching this sweet boy flop at everyone’s feet for a belly rub and seeing an injury, they couldn’t leave him behind! He was covered in fleas and ticks and has an old scar and an old fracture to his back left leg that was never treated, likely from being caught in a trap or in a fence. Since being rescued, Tucker is now all fixed up and ready for his forever home. He has had two weeks of professional training with Jabula Dog Academy to help him be someone’s perfect dog. He loves to cuddle, bellyrubs, chasing squirrels, and just to be by your side. Can you give this big, beautiful boy a second chance on a great life?
Tucker needs a home WITHOUT cats.
Update from Tucker’s Foster Mom: I picked up Tucker from Jabula’s farm yesterday and immediately I could tell he is one big bucket of love! The moment I met him, he sat at my feet with his head held up and a huge smile, waiting to be scratched. The moment I started in on his ears he fell to the ground for a belly rub. He LOVES to have his belly rubbed. He always seems to be smiling. It is clear that Jabula’s training has been successful. He sits, stays, waits for me at the door to go out, comes when I call, goes into his crate at night without hesitation, and stays out of the kitchen when I eat for the most part. I think it would be hard for anyone to stay away from a big bag of cheese! We were unsure whether or not he would go to the bathroom in the house, but so far so good. He has only gone outside! He likes to walk around the house sniffing everything new, then finds the perfect place to take a rest. He is also getting along great with my female black lab. For the most part they stay out of each others way. There have been a few occasions however where they start to play. It does not last long, but it is clear to tell he would be great with another low key dog or by himself. When I work in the office he finds his bed to take a nap or lays at my feet. Tucker is a puppy at heart, but does not seem to be one that will need constant exercise. He does not have the best back leg and will at times take a break when he feels the need. Tucker will make a great companion to a family or someone who is searching for a buddy to have around. He is a big teddy bear and a great dog!
