My story

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

🖤🐾 Meet Tux — Our Little Fighter with a Big Heart 🐾🖤
Tux is an approximately 8-year-old mixed breed (our best guess is a Boston Terrier mix) who is searching for a very special, loving home — the kind of home that sees ability instead of disability and love instead of limitations. 💕
Tux has an old injury to his back that left him paralyzed in his back legs, but this sweet boy has learned how to navigate the world in his own way. Tux will come with a wheelchair, and while it can be used when needed outside, he truly prefers not to use it and really doesn’t like it. When placed in the wheelchair, Tux usually just lays down and lets you know it’s not his thing. Inside the house, he actually gets around well on his own without it and is very comfortable doing so. 💙
Because of his injury, Tux wears a diaper and is not potty trained, so his future family will need to be comfortable with that extra care. In return, you’ll get a dog who is incredibly loving, gentle, and appreciative of every bit of kindness shown to him. 🥹🐾
Tux is around 21 pounds, does great with other dogs, and is good with kids, making him a wonderful companion for the right household. One thing you’ll learn quickly about Tux — he is OBSESSED with squeaky toys! 🧸😂 He is always on a determined mission to find and remove the squeaker, and it’s impossible not to smile watching him work.
Tux was dumped at a shelter in Kentucky, but despite everything he’s been through, his spirit is still full of love. He’s resilient, affectionate, and just wants a safe, understanding home where he can be loved exactly as he is. 🖤🐶
If you’ve ever thought about opening your heart to a special-needs dog, Tux may be the one who steals it. He may need a little extra care, but the love, loyalty, and joy he brings are beyond measure. ✨🐾
Please help us share Tux’s story — his perfect forever home is out there, and we can’t wait for him to find it. 🖤
