Tux is the strong, silent type… until he isn’t. He likes to pretend he’s aloof and unbothered, but don’t be fooled—behind that cool exterior is a goofy, sweet-hearted pup who absolutely melts for the right people. He knows sit (and is very proud of that accomplishment), and while he may act like affection is no big deal, he secretly lives for it.
Tux enjoys taking things slow, observing the world, and occasionally acting like he did not just do something silly. Once you earn his trust, you’ll be rewarded with soft eyes, unexpected goofiness, and a loyal Valentine who will stay by your side… while still pretending he doesn’t care that much.
Perfect for someone who appreciates a little mystery, a lot of sweetness, and a dog who will steal your heart and then casually walk away like it was all part of the plan. 🖤🐶💘
Dogs: Unknown, we recommend bringing in all pups to see how they do!
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Unknown, please bring in all kiddos
