My story

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

I'm part of a bonded pair! Check out Aspen: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/46692145-yelm-washington-australian-shepherd-mix

This is one of the hardest decisions as a military family. Tux, has been part of our family since day one. We unexpectedly received military orders to move overseas this spring and will be required to live on-base in a small staircase apartment with no yard or balcony. With military trainings, solo parenting weeks, and the changes in our daily life, it'll be hard for us to give him the care he’s used to.

Tux is healthy, house-trained, and friendly to everyone—he loves car rides. He is curious, and very smart, he’s vocal when he wants attention, food, or to go potty.

Tux and Aspen have been lifelong besties; we hope they can stay together, but will consider the right home for both. We’re looking for a loving, active home. We’re not in a rush—finding the right fit matters most. If you’re a good match, we’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet. ❤️
