Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Tucker #7 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Tucker #7 | 3.5-Year-Old Yorkie Mix | Smiley Little Gentleman Tucker is a 14-pound black-and-tan Yorkie mix with a big personality packed into a small, adorable frame. At 3.5 years old, he’s a sweet, easygoing, and friendly little guy who loves his people and thrives on affection. Tucker is reliably house trained with little to no accidents, though as with any dog, an occasional accident can happen in a new environment. He lets you know when he needs to go out by standing at the door. Tucker does great on leash and genuinely enjoys his walks, making him a wonderful walking companion. He has a medium energy level and is content with about 30 minutes of casual activity once or twice a day before happily settling in to relax. He does well with structure and boundaries and knows basic commands like sit, stay, come, no, and wait. He’s very food motivated—mini milk bones and pupperoni are among his favorites. Tucker is crate trained and does fine when left home alone for short periods with another dog in the house. He may whine briefly at first but settles down nicely. While Tucker has positive interactions with other dogs, he doesn’t seem particularly interested in playing with them and would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home where he can be the center of attention. One of Tucker’s most endearing traits is his little “smile,” which he flashes when he wants attention or is hoping for kisses—it’s absolutely adorable. He was found as a stray and has since been neutered, during which a small lump on his head was removed. His sutures have been removed, he’s healed beautifully, and he has no ongoing medical needs. Tucker is ready to find a loving home where he can soak up all the love he deserves. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member! January 11, 2026, 10:07 pm
