Badaboom and her sister Badabing were born to a stray and surrendered together by a kind citizen that fed the litter until big enough to go to forever homes.

Story

Tucker is a three year old male shih tzu who weighs about 20 lbs. He is a sweet dog who is fairly independent. He tolerates other dogs but would be happy as an only dog. Tucker came from Memphis animal shelter two years ago. He was adopted briefly but his adopter was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Tucker came to us with bad allergies and bad skin. We have allergy tested him and given him a series of shots. He still sometimes gets cytopoint to help with itching. He does best with frequent medicated baths. He also has dry eye and takes prescription eye drops. We have no adoption fee for someone with an excellent vet reference who is willing to adopt Tucker knowing his needs. After reading this pet's info, if you are still interested in adopting, please fill out the online adoption application found at realgooddogrescue.com The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience and own their own home. Please visit www.realgooddogrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog. Adopters are encouraged to initiate their 30 days free pet insurance as soon as they take possession of the pet. Do this by calling PetFirst 855-710-7387 Adopters may also INITIATE transfer of the pet's microchip by going directly to the chip company's website and following instructions. Your adoption paperwork has the microchip #, company name and you have an adoption agreement showing transfer from rescue to individual.
