Adoption Fee: $650 for both
Little Tucker is an 8-pound Yorkie, around 9 years old, who has been through a lot in his life. Dumped by a breeder, Tucker is still adjusting to the world beyond the cramped space he knew before. Everything is new to him—walks, toys, even affection from humans—but he’s making incredible progress in his new life. Tucker’s favorite thing in the world is small toys that fit perfectly in his mouth. He’ll carry them around all day, almost like a pacifier, and he’s very protective of them. If you try to take his toy, he’ll hide it in his crate to keep it safe, but don’t worry, he’s not aggressive. He just loves his little treasures.
Although Tucker has never really experienced walks before, he’s learning to walk on a leash, though he’s still a bit nervous about it. He’s also working on his potty training. He’s getting better, but it will take some time and patience. He’s accustomed to wearing a belly band indoors, and he’s crate trained, which gives him a sense of security. Tucker is an affectionate dog who is learning to enjoy the attention he receives. He’s gentle and loves people, though because of his toy-guarding instincts, he would do best in a home with older kids who understand how to respect his space.
Tucker has formed a very close bond with Little Mandy, and these two would love to be adopted together. They provide each other comfort and security, and adopting them as a pair would give them both the chance to continue their journey of healing and growth together. Tucker may still need a little time to adjust to his new world, but with a patient family, he’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion who will reward your kindness with unconditional affection.
*******
Little Tucker was used for breeding and most likely kept confined to his crate. Up until now potty training was not something he was taught so potty training will need consistent work and patience.
