Tuck Border Collie Mix Louisville, KY

Meet Tuck - a very nice Collie/Shepherd mix born in September of 2016. This handsome fella was surrendered by a family that had rescued Tuck as a puppy but, as Tuck got older, the older dog they already had in the home started being mean to Tuck. They knew Tuck deserved a home where he would be safe as well as loved and well-cared for so they surrendered him to us. We don't think it will take Tuck long to find a new home because he is such a loving, friendly, and well-mannered young dog. Yes, he still has some puppy behavior and would (like all young dogs) benefit from an obedience course but you can easily see how badly he wants to please people. Plus, Tuck is very smart and quickly catches on to things. He is an active, energetic dog and needs an adopter that is equally active and energetic and who will make sure Tuck is kept well-exercised, both in body and mind. The family told us that Tuck is house-trained and was crated initially until he could be trusted to be left loose in the home alone, he was good with their children (ages 4, 6 and 8 years), likes to chew sticks, loves to play, and would jump their 4-foot fence if left alone in their yard. They clarified that he never jumped the fence when someone was outside with him. We can see how this personable, affectionate dog would not enjoy being left alone. They also said that Tuck has only been in a car around 4 times and did get car sick once or twice. If you have cats, you might want to consider another dog because during a recent 'cat scan', Tuck was far too interested in and physical with the cats in the room. To find out if Tuck would be a good fit for you and your household, just stop by the shelter and ask to meet him.
