TUCKER - HOUND / RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Hound / Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 400. Online Adoption Application › Hi, I’m Tucker! I weigh about 45–50 pounds and I’m looking for a patient, loving home. I came from a home where I didn’t get much training or attention, which made me anxious and mouthy when I got overwhelmed. With time, consistency, and care, I’ve made great progress and am no longer mouthy. I’m still learning how to manage excitement and build confidence. I will go into my crate willingly, but I do get anxious if I’m in there too long, so I do best with limited crate time and a home where someone is around often. I can sometimes be cautious with food and may take treats to another room or prefer eating from a Kong. I usually feel most comfortable eating when my person is nearby. I’m a smart boy and know several commands and phrases, including sit, no, no bite/no scratch, want love (pets), outside, go for a drive, neighbors, front door, bedtime, and go to the store. My favorite reward is getting to nap on the bed with my person. I’m a loyal, loving dog who just wants to feel safe and close to my people.
