Tux's Story

Meet Tux, the dapper gentleman!<br/><br/>Male / Hound Mix, Cocomutt / 53lbs / 6 years old / UTD on shots / Good with dogs, cats and older dog savvy children<br/><br/>Personality<br/><br/>Meet Tux, the sweetest, most gentle best friend you could ask for! This handsome six-year-old is calm, affectionate and incredibly easygoing. Once he chooses his person, he becomes your loyal little shadow and is happiest hanging out by your side.Tux loves his walks, but he’s equally happy curling up on the couch for a movie. His foster family calls him a “cat dog” because he loves curling into the tiniest little ball with his feet tucked underneath him! As he’s settled into foster care, his playful personality has really started to shine, complete with zoomies and an adorable “walk time” dance. He is friendly with people, dogs and cats, although he can be a little shy when meeting someone new. Give him a little time and he quickly comes out of his shell.<br/><br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>Tux would love a home with someone who enjoys having a close companion and can give him plenty of walks, attention and snuggles. He would be a wonderful fit for a solo person or couple and would do well in an apartment or condo. A backyard is not necessary — Tux is perfectly happy exploring the neighbourhood or heading out for a longer trail walk. He gets along well with other dogs and has happily made friends with the cat in his foster home. He has not lived with children during his foster stay, but his gentle and patient nature suggests he could do well with respectful kids. Tux prefers a calmer environment and can be startled by unexpected loud noises, but he recovers quickly and adapts well to new surroundings.<br/><br/><br/>Training & Activity<br/><br/>Tux is house-trained and knows sit, down, shake paw and leave it. He is excellent on a loose leash and has good recall, especially with treats. He also appears to have been taught to check in with his person by gently tapping their hand during walks — very cute! He enjoys about 1–2 hours of activity throughout the day, including several walks. He loves longer adventures but is also happy with neighbourhood strolls. Once he’s had his exercise, he settles beautifully and is content to relax with his person. Tux does not currently use a crate and does well when left alone. He may watch the door for a few minutes when you leave, but settles quickly with no signs of separation anxiety.<br/><br/><br/>Summary<br/><br/>Tux is a gentle, affectionate and easygoing guy who wants nothing more than to be your best friend. He loves walks, couch cuddles and being part of the family. Give him a little time to settle in, and you'll discover a silly, playful and incredibly loyal companion who will happily follow you wherever you go!<br/><br/>All applicants must be residents of Toronto or the GTA to apply.<br/><br/>Apply here to Adopt<br/>http://seapawsrescue.org/adoptionApplication.html?

Sea Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Applicants must be at least 21 years of age. All adult members of the household must attend the adoption interview. We prefer that applicants have lived at their current address for at least three months. This is to make sure that owners have had time to settle into their new surroundings, and provides stability for the new pup who themselves have already undergone multiple changes in a short time. Because young puppies require intensive training and care, we do not place puppies younger than 8 weeks of age in a home. Because of potential behavior/training concerns, we are very cautious when placing young pets in homes with children under the age of five. If applicants have another animal at home, they must introduce the animals properly. We want to make sure that their animal is happy with their selection and that the transition for both animals' will be relatively smooth. All adopters must take the animal to a veterinarian within one week of adoption as Sea Paws Rescue (SPR) does not screen for all diseases including, but not limited to, tick fever and heartworm. All further examinations and immunizations from the date of the adoption are at the adopter’s own expense. SPR makes no health guarantees or warranties. All adopters must understand that there will be an adjustment period and their pet may experience behavioural and/or health issues related to the change in environment. Adopters must seek professional assistance from a trainer and/or licensed veterinarian if they have concerns about issues related to the adjustment period. If at any time, for any reason, a SPR adopter decides not to keep their animal, they agree to return the animal back to a Sea Paws Rescue representative. Under no circumstance will the adopter surrender a SPR animal to a local shelter. In the event of a rehoming, no part of the adoption fee will be reimbursed.
