My story

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

💫 Meet Tucker: Your New Senior Sour Patch Kid (Heavy on the Sweet… but read the fine print!) 💫

Tucker is a handsome senior mixed-breed terrier whose DNA results read like the cast list of a toy-dog sitcom: Chihuahua, Pekingese, Shih Tzu, and Yorkie—aka The Unforgettable Four.
Just like his genetic cocktail, Tucker is wonderfully unique… and he knows it.

He came to us as a local owner surrender under special circumstances, and at his age, he’s earned the right to have a few "house rules." (Don’t worry—they’re funny, not frightening.)

Here’s what Tucker would like you to know, in his own distinguished senior-gentleman voice:

🐾 Rule #1: Dining Time is Sacred.
If Tucker is eating… he is busy. Please do not schedule appointments, small talk, or petting sessions at this time.

🐾 Rule #2: Peace & Quiet, Please.
He is a connoisseur of calm. Loud environments? No, thank you. Tucker prefers a home where the decibel level stays civilized.

🐾 Rule #3: MY Toys.
Tucker would like to gently remind you that his toys are his personal property and should be treated with respect, admiration, and zero touching.

🐾 Rule #4: Picking Him Up.
Tucker is happy to be held—when he requests it. His polite request looks like two little paws on your leg.
If you don’t see paws? That means “not right now, thanks.” 😂

Despite his very reasonable boundaries, Tucker is a loving, funny, loyal little gentleman who just wants someone who “gets him.” If you have a sense of humor and appreciate a dog with character, he may just be your soulmate.

He’s neutered, up to date on shots, needs nothing but love, and is Senior-to-Senior eligible. Tucker would thrive with someone who enjoys companionship, routine, and laughter.

If you’re looking for a dog who will make you smile daily and keep you on your toes (just not while he’s eating), come meet Tucker.
He’s ready to find his quiet, loving forever home—with someone who celebrates his quirks as much as we do.
