TUCKER Tucker is a purebred male Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. His DOB is 3/9/09 Poor Tucker has already been through 2 owners in his short life. His first owner was a single mother with a small child who Tucker was too much for. He was given away on Craig's list. Below is some information from his second owner: He is very hyper, playful and honestly, into everything. He has not shown any aggressiveness at all - even if you take his rawhide bone away or interact with him while he is eating. He has interacted with neighbor dogs. He is always happy and hyper to play - never aggressive. He is very social, always looking for a friend to play him (canine or human). He stays in his kennel during the day while we work, but prefers to sleep at the foot of our bed at night. He knows how to sit, stay, lay down, play dead "boom", shake, and give "high fives." He wants to play ALL THE TIME. I think a home with another dog or someone who can play with him daily for large periods of time would be ideal. He gets lonely...following us around with a toy in his mouth hoping someone will play with him. Sometimes someone will throw a toy a round for a few minutes, or chase him around the house, but it's not near amount the time that he wants. It's very sad...and he ends up getting into trouble because he's bored. He'll pick up something off the kitchen counter, table, end table, etc. and will end up getting reprimanded, instead of played with. We didn't come to this decision easily. We will all miss him, but know deep down that our home is not a happy home for him, or for us. It feels like we say "no, Tucker" more than we play with him. :-( I don't see our schedule freeing up anytime soon, so the only logical choice seems to find him a home where he will be better cared for and happier. Tucker has a pretty irish coat and will be a gorgeous dog when his coat has matured and filled out. Tucker is neutered and up to date on shots. |
