Story
Tucker is a Chihuahua who is approximately 3 years old and weighs about 6 pounds. He came to SARG from a shelter, where he was turned in after his owner died. He was a bit scared in the shelter, but he is really starting to blossom in his foster home, in spite of all he's been through recently. Tucker has a delightful personality and is doing great with the 6 other dogs in his foster home. He has adapted very quickly to all the new things at his foster home: a doggie door, new routine, new dogs, new people. He's still a little bit wary of strangers, but who can blame him? Tucker is working on his potty training and doing really well. We are still getting to know Tucker and are excited to see him grow into the best dog he can be. Tucker would do best in an adult-only home, or a home with older kids, and with folks who have some experience with smaller dogs. He does need some leash work, as he does not appear to be used to a leash; but he is a quick learner, and we know that will be an easy thing for him to conquer. He is very people-oriented and wants to be in the room with you, and he definitely lets you know he would like some attention. And even better if you are on the couch or chair watching TV, so he can cuddle up with you. He is sleeping in the bed in his foster home, where he tucks in next to his foster mom and doesn't move all night. Tucker deserves to find the right home with someone who has the time and can help him become a calm, confident dog. If you are interested in Tucker, please fill out an adoption application.
