My story

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

Tucker was a rescue from Sarges in Waynesville 3 years ago, very skinny and very sad as he was a drop off in the middle of the night in the winter. He weighed only 52 lbs and was considered a 5-6 year old adult coonhound. He now weighs around 90 lbs, sweet demeanor, and silly. He needs a home without children. He is what we think to be a "failed hunting dog-turned couch potato". He does have some fears and ends up snipping at what he fears the most, being children or people in his space.(Near his face) He loves food and loves the scratches. He will steal your bed and heart. Those big ears are so floppy and soft, we mess with them everyday. We need him in a home that doesn't have small kiddos nearby. He's getting up there in age, so he needs a comfy spot with all adults that love him like we do!
We cannot keep him due to his issues with kids, and we are wanting to make sure he goes to a safe place!
