Story
Tucker is an incredibly smart, loyal, and loving dog who is looking for a home where he can truly thrive. He was adopted as a young puppy after an accidental litter needed homes. Tucker is happiest when he’s active and outdoors. He absolutely loves swimming, running, and chasing a ball, you can truly see him light up when he is offered a large piece of land to run on or a body of water to swim in. He is also very well trained. Tucker is exceptionally loyal and forms a very strong bond with his primary person. Because of that bond, he can be protective of his owner and may growl or become uncomfortable around other members of the household. When owner is not around, he is more relaxed, even earning Dog of the Month at his doggy daycare during the very first month they introduced the program—a great reflection of how well he can do in the right environment. We believe Tucker may be happiest in a calm, structured environment with plenty of space, exercise, and one-on-one attention.

Story
Meet Appa! Appa is the sweetest little guy with a whole lot of love to give! He’s wonderful with other dogs and cats, and he previously lived in a home with children. He’s potty trained, has great house manners, and doesn’t bother visitors. He can even use a designated potty spot when getting outside isn’t possible. Talk about a good boy! A few things Appa’s future family should know: • He’s still working on his leash skills and seems much more accustomed to running and playing off-leash in a yard. • He LOVES car rides! • He is VERY food motivated and will do just about anything for a tasty treat. • He’s a little counter surfer, so he’ll need some help learning to keep those paws on the floor. • Crates and grooming aren’t exactly his favorite things, but he does well loose in the house. • He’s also a self-appointed security officer who will alert you if a dangerous blinking light or suspicious leaf blows past the door. Appa is incredibly lovable, easygoing, and ready to be someone’s very best little buddy. ********************************************************************* Schedule a meet-and-greet by completing our Adoption Survey on the Adopt page of our website at https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-survey.
