My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tux! Here is some great info from his foster about him! Tux's adoption fee is also waived thanks to a generous volunteer!!

How is Tux with children?
He seems to like them on walks and he's always eager to play!

Is he potty trained?
He is potty trained!

Is he crate trained?
He doesn't spend much time in his crate. He's so good when left alone, I don't need to crate him.

What would Tux's superpower be if he could have one?
Tux's superpower would be speed. When allowed a large area to play off leash, he runs in circles as fast as he can. Keep away, chase, and catch-me-if-you-can are his favorite outdoor games.

Does Tux have a favorite toy?
His favorite toy is his food popper puzzle; Tux is very smart and food motivated. He also loves squeaky balls and his wobble kong!

What is his favorite activity?
Tux enjoys going for walks, hikes, and car rides. More than anything, though, he likes to be with his people!

Does he like to snuggle?
Tux is a power snuggler; he's happiest lying with his head on a lap!

If you're interested in meeting Tux, please visit our website to learn about our adoption process and to fill out an application, www.gatewaypets.org/adopt.

All of our dogs and cats will be micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.

Gateway Pet Guardians is proud to offer a variety of mixed breed dogs available for adoption. However, please keep in mind that we rarely know the genetic background of the animals we rescue and, as such, we cannot guarantee the exact breed combinations found within this dog. However, we do not know his/her actual genetic makeup. Just know that this dog is probably a variety of several different breeds that have combined to create one very amazing and unique animal.
