My story

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

Tucker is a stunning 1-year-old male German Shepherd with a big heart to match his big, beautiful frame. His fluffy coat is unbelievably soft, and he absolutely loves when you run your hands through it—because, above all else, Tucker is a total lovebug. He lives for attention, happily seeking out anyone willing to give him pets, praise, or affection.

When you first meet Tucker, he’ll greet you with excitement, but he settles down quickly and enjoys simply being near his people. He isn’t overly interested in toys just yet, though he’ll occasionally chew on a good bone. What he is passionate about is going for walks. Tucker is a dedicated explorer with a curious mind and an impressive nose—he wants to sniff everything! His adventurous streak also makes him a bit of an escape artist, but we’re confident that once he’s in a stable home with people he truly bonds with, he’ll feel secure enough to respect boundaries.

Despite his curiosity, Tucker loves to lounge and nap, but he’s always quick to alert when something catches his attention. For such a big boy, he’s incredibly affectionate and gentle—his greatest wish is simply to be loved.

Tucker is fully potty-trained and has a good handle on his basic manners. While he isn’t a huge fan of being crated, he’s improving every day with consistent training. He does well with dogs his size but would do best in a home without cats.

Tucker is ready to flourish in a home that will give him the patience, love, and security he’s been craving. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you endlessly and brighten your life with his curious spirit, Tucker might be your perfect match.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit organization out of Monticello, IA specializing in the care for dogs and cats that need us. Our care does not stay local, as we take transports from all over the United States, and adopt all over as well!

Our mission's primary focus is to help reduce the homeless pet population by finding homes for spayed/neutered pets, and helping educate WHY this process is so important, and the proper way to care for pets!
