My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*Hospice family needed.*

Meet Tucker John!

12-year-old Tucker John, our sweet senior from Santa Barbara County Animal Services, is looking for a very special someone to give him the loving final chapter he deserves. He is has stage 2 kidney disease and a mass in his lung. He needs daily oral meds and subcutaneous fluids, but don't worry-we'll show you how it's done!

Tucker is a gem! He fantastic with kids, cats, and dogs of all sizes. He still has lots of energy and enjoys going for walks and hikes. He is a perfect co-pilot in the car and has such great manners that you can take him anywhere and everywhere! Tucker loves lounging on a cozy bed close to his person and is a great work from home buddy. He sleeps through the night on a bed on the floor.

Tucker currently lives in a Foster home where thankfully, he is thriving! His Foster Mom reports:

"Tucker is a super active, happy guy. He is always calm and sweet with everyone he meets. Because of this, he gets lots of outings to restaurants and the beach!

Tucker loves being with his person! He is the sweetest shadow dog. He really enjoys a walk and has great stamina. He's very calm in the house.

Tucker is perfect with all dogs he meets. He'll occasionally bark at the cats, but that's the most he'll do. Never anything aggressive.

Tucker gets fluids daily and takes them like a champ! He loves getting some treats during fluids to make it fun.

Tucker's perfect family definitely includes a man. He is very attached to the men in his life!"

Be sure to watch the videos of Tucker acting very un-hospice-like and running around the yard at his foster home!
