Tucker #2

Adopted!

Tucker's story turned into a happy one when he was rescued by VGSR from the shelter on his final day. At approximately one year old, Tucker's short life has been fraught with difficulties. To the best of our knowledge, Tucker had spent most of his life as a stray with no home to call his own. Shortly after coming to VGSR, he was diagnosed with heartworm. A rare reaction to his heartworm treatment resulted in reduced peripheral vision. Tucker is scheduled for his final heartworm recheck at the end of November, after which he'll be neutered and ready for adoption. At approximately 58 lbs, Li'l Tuck is a bit on the small side for a GSD, but he packs a punch with an abundance of puppy energy! Tucker's coat is a very silky solid black. One ear is slightly crooked which gives him a jaunty look. He's very alert, adores being the center of attention, and loves to romp and play with his foster sister and brother, even when they don't! He is very submissive without an aggressive bone in his body, but he is still learning his manners with other dogs in that he finds it difficult to stop nipping at their tails to instigate play. And although he has never been trained, he is not destructive in the house. He is very affectionate, will run up to you and see for a good ear scratchin...in between bouts of play, of course! Tucker would do best in an environment with another young dog or with someone who is around for much of the day since he can get very lonely. Won't you open your heart this holiday season and give Tucker his forever home? You will be rewarded with an energetic companion to share life's adventures. KBVA VGSR Tag #1367 Adopted: 03/05/06.
