Tucker Lull

Tucker Lull has two speeds: happily trotting somewhere and standing straight up on his back legs like he's has something very important to say. No one taught him this little trick, it just seems to be the easiest way to get a better view of whatever is happening around him. It's hilarious every single time, and it's only one small part of what makes Tucker such a fun little dog to be around! Estimated to be around 5 years old, Tucker weighs approximately 11 lbs and appears to be a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, though as with all rescue dogs, his breed and age are simply our best educated guess. Tucker is the kind of dog who assumes everyone is a potential friend. He loves meeting new people and rarely contains his excitement for long. His greetings usually involve enthusiastic little hops as he tries to get close enough to say hello. There's nothing reserved about Tucker. He wears his happiness right on his face, and that signature smile seems to follow him wherever he goes. He's currently fostered with two dogs and fits beautifully into the group. They spend time together throughout the day in their playpen, play well as a pack, and even sleep side by side at night. Tucker clearly enjoys having canine companions around and has become an easy member of the household. Mealtimes are relaxed too. He free feeds without any food aggression and happily shares space with the other dogs. Playtime is one of Tucker's favorite parts of the day. Balls are easily at the top of his list, and he always seems ready for another game. Treats are another favorite, making him eager to learn. He already knows "sit" and enjoys working for snacks. He walks wonderfully on leash and makes neighborhood strolls feel easy and enjoyable. At home, Tucker has excellent manners. He's fully house trained, confidently uses a doggy door, and hasn't had accidents in the house. Grooming isn't exactly his favorite activity, but he handles the rest of daily life with ease. He doesn't mind being picked up for a quick cuddle, but he'd much rather be back on the ground exploring. When he's ready to be put down, he'll give an adorable little wiggle to let you know he's got places to go. He's also done well on short car rides, riding quietly in his crate for trips around five miles without any trouble. Speaking of crates, Tucker settles in nicely and doesn't fuss much when it's time to relax. Tucker would be happiest with a family that wants a dog who's ready to be part of everything. Whether he's greeting visitors with joyful little hops, chasing after his favorite ball, walking politely around the neighborhood, or making everyone laugh with his impressive balancing skills, Tucker has a way of making ordinary days feel just a little brighter!
