History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!
A Note from the Foster: WHEW!!! I made it through my first Christmas, and with the Santa hats and frosted cookies (the doggie variety OF COURSE!) in the rear-view mirror, my sights are focused on the new year and becoming the best version of me.
To hold myself accountable, I wanted to share my New Year’s resolutions in the hopes that we might be a perfect match. After a short time in my foster home, I’ve grown so much, and I can’t wait to see what my next chapter holds.
So, without further ado, I, Mr. Tuck, resolve to:
🎉Master Potty Training
I’m working super hard at this to keep my foster home floors proud! I’m almost there - when I have to go, I head to the door with the occasional use of a potty pad for those unplanned occasions.
🎉Chew Only Toys That Are Actually Mine
This can be confusing…there are so many fun things at my level. But with gentle redirection to toys or bones, I’m catching on!
🎉Learn New Tricks and Show Off My Smarts
I’m eager to learn and please, so this should be easy. I already know 'sit' and 'come'. And FOOD is my love language - if a treat is involved, you have my full attention.
🎉Love My Crate
Well...let's start with 'Be Calm and Quiet'. At night I have that covered - I sleep without a peep or accident. When my foster family is away, I might cry for a couple of minutes, but then settle down. Is my kennel my favorite place? No, but whose is it really?
🎉Greet Politely
I get so excited to meet new friends - I like everyone (kids are great!!) - that my paws don’t always stay on the ground. I just want to make sure you see me—and my hopeful eyes and to get kisses. Is that so bad?
🎉Perfect the Snuggle
Evening couch cuddles are one of my favorite times. I’ll happily keep your lap warm while you watch a show.
🎉Stay Ridiculously Cute
Not to brag, but I’d say this one is already complete. Everyone needs a gimme, right!?
I’m equal parts curious, sweet, and happy puppy. I’m learning the ropes of being a well-mannered companion and would love a family who’s excited to teach me, laugh with me, and grow alongside me. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, an adventure buddy, and a pup who will keep life fun, I just might be your guy.
New Year. New Beginnings.
Love,
Tuck 🐶
Adoption Fee: $760 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
