When Tucker, our 3 year old 17 pound terrier mix, was found stray, the
shelter worried that his jaw was broken. His tongue lolls to one side
and he just looks a bit wonky. As it turns out, Tucker is just
(adorably) asymmetrical. Sure, his jaw is very left of midline, but
Tucker can eat just fine. And since his tongue is always hanging out,
Tucker is able to pick up any crumb left behind.
Friendly and
affectionate, Tucker is a crowd pleaser. Although it takes him a bit to
warm up, once he does, he's confident and cuddly. Tucker will want to
take his time exploring his new space before he's comfortable in every
room. "Safety First" is his motto.
Tucker is good on a leash and
enjoys other small dogs. Big dogs are a "maybe" for him. We have not
seen Tucker with cats but can do an introduction if needed. Primarily,
Tucker likes human company and likes to follow his person from room to
room. Potty trained (with the occasional marking accident- improving now
that he's neutered), crate trained and not destructive, Tucker is a
nearly perfect house guest.
Tucker's ideal adopter will provide
him with a collection of small squeaky toys. He feels best when carrying
one with him everywhere. If Tucker forgets his toy when he goes
outside, he will immediately run back in to retrieve it. We wonder if he
does this to highlight his crooked smile.
Tucker is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.
Are
you tired of using the toilet by yourself? Are you wondering how to get
all those cake crumbs off the floor? Would your life be better with
just a bit more squeaking?
