Tuk's Story

Meet Tuk! This 7-year-old Shepherd mix is 50 pounds of loyalty, heart, and full-body wiggles.<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>Tuk is a wonderful blend of playful and peaceful. On walks, he’s calm and easygoing with excellent leash manners. Bring out a ball, though, and he lights up, he loves fetch and will happily keep the game going before settling in beside you to watch the world pass by. He rides quietly in the car, is fully potty trained, and isn’t much of a barker. Tuk adores adult humans and may do well with respectful teens, but a home without babies or young children is best. He would likely prefer to be the only dog, though he does well seeing dogs out and about and is easily redirected. Cats? He loves them and has a history of cuddling with feline friends.<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>Tuk does have some ongoing medical needs, including anxiety and chronic skin allergies that are currently well managed with daily medications and a prescription hypoallergenic diet. He will also need a dental procedure in the coming months. With routine, structure, and consistency, he thrives and feels secure.<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>Tuk may be a little sensitive, but that sensitivity is what makes him such a devoted companion. He bonds deeply, greets his people with a happy dance, and simply wants to be near the ones he loves.<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will hike by your side, relax at your feet, and love you wholeheartedly, Tuk is ready to meet you.<br/><br/>​<br/><br/>Tuk is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

Emerald City Pet Rescue's Adoption Policy
Because our animals are kept in a playroom setting, Emerald City Pet Rescue is an appointment based rescue. Call 206-557-4661 to get started on the adoption process and find your new FUREVER FRIEND today! Our screening process starts with a survey that is completed over the phone, and then moves on to an in-person meet and greet if it seems like a good fit for both the adopter and the pet. If the meet and greet goes well, you have the option to fill out a contract. We then complete reference checks and schedule a visit to your home to ensure that everything is compatible with the pet's needs and our requirements.
