Tucker's Story

Tucker is a handsome 8-year-old German Shorthair Pointer with the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet affection. He's well past the puppy stage but still has plenty of enthusiasm for life! Tucker is fully comfortable using a doggy door and thrives in a home where he can move freely between indoor coziness and outdoor exploring. He's wonderful with kids and gets along great with other dogs. When he plays with them, his style is gentle and dainty-like he's giving little polite bows and soft taps, rather than a full-on puppy roughhousing. Mostly, Tucker just does his own thing: happily sniffing around, following his own curious nose, or lounging in the sun while keeping an eye on everyone. It's his charming way of being both social and independent at the same time! While he hasn't been tested with cats, he has a gentle, friendly nature. Tucker loves chew toys and bones, and when playtime is over, he's happiest curled up next to his people soaking up belly rubs. He's incredibly cuddly and would love nothing more than to be your loyal companion for movie nights, backyard adventures, and everything in between. If you're looking for a devoted, affectionate dog with a loving heart-and a polite, dainty approach to making friends-Tucker is your guy! $135 Fee includes initial vaccines, worming, microchip with registration, and free vet health exam. This pet has been fed Country Vet Naturals, donated to us by Country Vet. Primary Color: Liver Secondary Color: White Weight: 64lbs Age: 7yrs 4mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered

SIOUXLAND HUMANE SOCIETY's Adoption Policy

ADOPTION INFORMATION The placement of adoptable pets into loving, caring homes, thereby enhancing the bond between pets and people is the primary goal of the Siouxland Humane Society Adoption Program. We focus on education so that every pet owner can benefit from their contact with the Shelter, whether or not they adopt a pet from us. Our knowledgeable staff is here to assist you in choosing a pet that is right for you and your family. Matching the needs of the pet with the potential owner, as well as responsible pet ownership education, helps to ensure the successful placement of Shelter pets. Visit our Shelter, tour the kennels with a staff member, and note which pet you are interested in. You can visit with the pet in one of our visitation rooms or our outdoor courtyard. We encourage everyone in the household (including other pets) to meet the new pet before making a decision. Should you decide to adopt, our staff will ask you to complete an Adoption Questionnaire and meet with an adoption counselor. ADOPTION FEES While you can’t put a price tag on a lifetime of hugs, kisses, companionship and unconditional love, there are costs involved in caring for a healthy pet.
