Tucker Border Collie Mix Ridgway, CO

Tucker and Tyler are two wonderful siblings who came in together after their person passed away. Tyler was adopted and now Tucker needs his turn.

While we are working on socializing and building Tucker's confidence as he lived in his more bold sister's shadow for awhile.

Tucker is 4-5 years old and need a good amount of exercise. He loves to run and play fetch for hours, but he is also happy hanging out with his person.

He is a sweet and gentle dog. He will need a large fenced place to run and play and chase a ball.

Tucker is having difficulty meeting other dogs so, currently, we are hoping for a home with no other dogs.

Sadly, we have discovered Tucker has an old injury that was not addressed and healed balky. It does cause him pain and will require pain management, or more likely, surgery in the future.

Tucker is housetrained.

Adopters will be considered on the totality of the application and how it matches the particular pet's needs.
