My story

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

Tucker is such a versatile boy. He loves to cock his head to the side to determine what his human companions want to do. Do you want to play with toys? He's ready for that! Go off on new adventures? Sure! Cuddle on the couch? You bet!

This playful boy's tail starts wagging when he sees he's about to meet new people. He excitedly runs to meet them, paws bouncing up and down. At home, he loves going for walks and playing with his tennis balls - or all kinds of toys, especially when he can fetch the ones tossed by his human. After he's tuckered out, he's happy to chill out. His favorite thing is to join his humans for cuddling in a snugly spot, where he can burrow his head into them. He's also happy to snooze next to his humans while they're at work, too.

Tucker's a smart boy who's learning quickly, having already mastered "stay" and "down." He is also learning when he can hop on the furniture. He's also a housetrained boy who does well in his crate. Come meet Tucker, he's eager to be your snuggly new best friend!
