Meet Tucker — Your New Best Friend with Oreo Swirls and a Zest for Life!
Tucker is a joyful, loyal, and playful Shih Tzu mix who brings laughter and love wherever he goes. With his expressive deep brown eyes, soft Oreo-colored coat, and endless silly antics, this one-to-two-year-old pup is simply irresistible.
Tucker adores his humans and shows it with enthusiastic “zoomies” around the house and yard the moment he sees them — to him, his person means pure joy. But he’s also perfectly content entertaining himself with toys (especially balls, his absolute favorite after his person), always finding creative and hilarious ways to make his foster mom laugh.
He gets along well with dogs of all sizes, cats, and adults. While initially shy around children, he’s gaining confidence with gentle exposure. Tucker sleeps at his foster mom’s feet each night and has come a long way in his potty training since arriving in late April.
This happy-go-lucky boy has a hearty appetite and currently enjoys a mix of kibble and soft food. He’s easygoing, loves being touched, doesn’t mind baths or grooming, and enjoys relaxed car rides and leisurely walks where he can sniff and explore at his own pace.
Tucker is very active and intelligent — an ideal candidate for agility training or an adventurous lifestyle. He would thrive with a loving, active family committed to playing with him, going on long walks, and continuing his basic training. He is working on managing his excitement when his person returns home (sometimes he gets adorably stuck between their legs in his joy!).
Tucker is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and has been given a full clean bill of health. He is sweet, silly, and genuinely thrilled to be alive. Whoever adopts this little treasure will gain a loyal, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion.
Are you the lucky one Tucker’s been waiting for?
Please note that Tucker is NOT a hypoallergenic dog so is not a good fit for applicants who need an allergy friendly breed. If you're interested in adopting Tucker, please complete an adoption application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
