 Well,
hello! My name is Tucker and I'm a big ol' clumsy and playful
boy. We know that I am a large mixed-breed kid, but who really
knows what my fine "lineage" is! My rescue friends think that I
may be mostly Leonberger, and maybe part Saint (or even Mastiff)
and a little Retriever thrown in there... my head is quite large
(don't you just love my freckled face?) My paws are very big and
I do like to bounce around a lot when I am excited... but then I
settle down and I'm pretty laid-back. I like other big dogs but
I might be too much for tiny ones (or cats) due to my size and
play style. I'm walking pretty well on a leash and I've learned
how to "sit" and "shake," especially if there is food involved!
Because my overall size and temperament really match the
Leonberger breed, please do visit this excellent website at
Leonberger Club of America for more information on the "Leo"
breed, why you may or may not love one, etc.
My rescue friends believe that I was born around March 06, and I
was actually a dopted
from a small-town KS shelter when I was just a pup, along with
my brother "Tyler." (Please see his online listing
here too!) But the family who
adopted us dumped us both back at the shelter in July 2007; can
you even believe something so awful? The family just didn't want
us any more and they complained that we would "roam away"...
well, of course we would! There was no fence and we
were outside alone a lot... so we were bored. We love people and
we just needed some companionship and affection!
 Anyway,
the friendly folks back at the shelter worked hard to find us a
safe place, and we wound up coming to Happy Dogs Rescue, and
we're doing great now. If your family has enough room in your
hearts and homes (and on the couch!!!) for a big guy like me -
AND/or my brother Tyler -
please send us an email. We'd love to meet you in person at one
of our adoption events. And if you would like to complete an
adoption application, please email us and we'll be happy to send
one right out!
TUCKER ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Large or giant-breed dog
experience ideal; no children in the home under age 5. Fully
fenced yard required, no exceptions, in the Kansas City "metro"
area only, as we require a home visit / fence check by one of
our volunteers. We are a
small, all-volunteer group based in KC, so we're unable to
successfully do long-distance or out-of-state adoptions. Thank
you for understanding! |
