MR TUX ATHENS - AUSTRALIAN KELPIE / BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Kelpie / Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Mr. Tux was saved at the literal 11th hour by Eleventh Hour Rescue. Down south in Georgia, this is the daily reality for so many dogs&mdash;if you aren&rsquo;t settling well in the kennel environment, you are often the first to go. He was scheduled to be euthanized through no fault of his own, simply because the shelter was overcrowded. The kennel environment was taking a toll on him; he was losing weight, stressed, and clearly unhappy&hellip; but never once showed an ounce of aggression. We heard his story and knew we had to step in. Now, Mr. Tux is safe here in NJ and getting the second chance he so deserves. Mr. Tux is an absolute sweetheart. He loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and even showed polite curiosity toward cats during a day out with a volunteer (though he hasn&rsquo;t lived with them yet). He appears to be house trained and enjoys all the good things in life&mdash;cuddling, sunbathing, playing with toys, and heading out on adventures. Mr. Tux is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines&mdash;ready to start his new life with a family who will love him forever.
