Story
🐱🐈 Cat-friendly 🐈🐱
Do you go crazy for a sharp dressed man? 🕴️🕴️ We got your dapper guy right here!
🤵♂️ Tux, short for Tuxedo 🤵♂️ is a 8-month-old boy who looks sophisticated. But underneath that drip outfit is a goofy, intelligent puppy who is discovering the real world for the very first time. We are guessing he is a Border Collie mix 👔 – but that is just a guess. He is on track to probably be around 70ish pounds full grown.
Despite a sheltered start, Tux is very happy, friendly, cheerful, and wonderfully intelligent. He learns quickly, responds well to “no,” and pays close attention to his people. Tux has a sweet, thoughtful nature beneath his playful puppy energy. His favorite toys are balls ⚽️, bones 🦴, and sticks so let’s go!
Tux was rescued from death row at a rural shelter and is now discovering what “the good life” means. So much of the world is brand new to him — he had never seen a TV, vacuum cleaner, or lawn mower before coming into foster care, and he currently believes metal cat sculptures might really be alive! LOL.
Tux is a striking young pup 🕶️ with a sleek black coat, white chest, adorable nose marking, and the kind of upright ears that have a personality all their own.
Tux is dog friendly and would likely thrive with a confident canine sibling who could continue showing him how wonderful the real world is, though that’s not required. He is curious and wants to play with cats. He thinks it’s a game when they run, so he’ll chase them but isn’t aggressive.
He’s energetic, eager to learn, and full of potential — he likely would do great with advanced training, like agility or specialty training. For now, he comes when he’s called, and he’s working on learning to sit on command. He has nice leash manners, and is steadily perfecting potty training. He is crate trained as well.
Tux is looking for the family who will show him that home is the very best adventure of all.
He is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines and microchipped. He’ll come to you current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $275. Meet & greets will be scheduled with approved adopters.
