Tucker

Hi! My name is Tucker and I would love to be a part of your family! Me and a few of my canine pals had a painful run-in with a porcupine (ouch) so, when I arrived at the BVSPCA, I was understandably frightened. But gentle words, lots of treats (as I am quite food motivated) and an outpouring of love are helping me come out of my shell a little more each day. Truth be told, I'm still a shy guy who feels safest tucked in my crate, or on a cozy blanket in the corner of my room, but the staff at the BVSPCA say I'm just the sweetest and gentlest boy you will ever meet with so much potential to become an amazing canine companion. Although cautious of the world, I love being petted sooooo much, and think I fit just about perfectly in the lap of my trusted people (even if a bit of me spills over the sides). I'm working on building confidence and trust, learning that I'm safe in the world, and learning how to go outside on a leash, so your understanding, patience and consistency will help me become the most amazing and loyal family addition. If you have a soft spot for the timid types, and I sound like a fit for you, come meet me today!

Dog-friendly: Yes, with proper introductions. Has lived with dogs before. May benefit from a calm, confident canine companion.

Do I Need Special Care?: I am a semi-feral dog who is very nervous of the big, wide world. At this time I feel safest in my crate/room. My new home will need to be prepared to work through these behaviors and do lots of slow socialization to show me I'm safe. In a consistent home, I will likely make much quicker progress than in the shelter, and really blossom!
