Tucker Boy is being fostered in Overland Park KS (Kansas City MO Area)
Ta da!!! Meet Tucker Boy - Tucker Boy is a charming and handsome 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd with a silky black coat and a current weight of 32 pounds. Expected to reach around 40 pounds when fully grown, he has a medium energy level and a friendly, gentle demeanor. Tucker is a sociable pup who loves attention from people and is ready to be part of an active, loving family.
Tucker Boy is affectionate and well-mannered, with a knack for winning hearts. He responds well to basic commands, suggesting he may have had some prior obedience training. On walks, he is calm and composed, showing excellent leash manners without pulling or lunging. Tucker has had limited exposure to children but has shown patience and friendliness around neighborhood kids. Though he hasn’t been observed around cats, he gets along well with other dogs, enjoying playtime and impressing his foster family with his high-speed “zoomies” and leaping skills.
His foster parents report, Tucker Boy has been a joy to foster, displaying great behavior in the house and during meals, with not a single potty accident. Crate training is a work in progress, as he prefers not to be separated from his people or the action around him. He’s highly food-motivated, often offering a “sit” in hopes of earning a treat, and occasionally tries his luck with counter surfing or searching for crumbs. When indoors, Tucker is attentive, settles easily, and always keeps an eye out for nuzzle and snuggle opportunities. He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and would likely do best with older children (8 and above) and another dog companion to play with. He doesn't NEED another dog if someone wants him to be their sidekick and take him everywhere or maybe even a dog sport or obedience training. He would enjoy having another playful 4 legged friend to play with though!
His foster parents report that they absolutely love fostering Tucker Boy. He’s intelligent, athletic, and has a big heart. If Tucker Boy was a superhero, it would surely be Iron Man—smart, strategic, and undeniably good-looking. He’s a wonderful companion, and we are confident he’ll bring so much joy to his forever family."
Tucker Boy is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, negative for all tick borne diseases and taking monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworm.
