Tux D12542's Story

Meet Tux - Professional Party Starter & Full-Time Love Bug! <br/><br/>Tux has entered the chat, and the party can officially begin! This handsome boy is equal parts goofy, loving, playful, and completely convinced that every person he meets has arrived specifically to give HIM attention. Honestly, who are we to argue?<br/><br/>Tux likes to kick off his mornings with about 15 minutes outside, followed by some quality indoor playtime. He loves his stuffed toys and having fun with his foster brother. But Tux has discovered an important rule of toy ownership: if a toy is too big to fit in his mouth, it is apparently time to bark at it. Pick it up? Nope. Carry it? Impossible. Bark at it? Absolutely.<br/><br/>When it comes to getting attention, Tux is not shy about making his wishes known. This jealous little guy wants ALL the love. He may sneak right between your legs, or simply sit nearby and stare at you until you realize you have apparently been neglecting your duties. The message is clear: "Excuse me, I believe it's cuddle time." <br/><br/>Meeting new people is one of Tux's favorite activities. A regular tail wag just won't do for this boy. Instead, he greets people with his signature full-body wiggle - because when you're this excited, the entire back half of your body needs to participate!<br/><br/>Once the festivities are over, Tux knows how to settle down. He feels safe and comfortable in his crate or relaxing on his bed with his favorite stuffy. He does well in his crate at bedtime and when his foster mom is away. He can be a little nervous around fast movements, especially children running toward him, so he does best with calm, respectful interactions.<br/><br/>Tux is also working hard on his sit and shake and making great progress. With regular potty breaks, he has no accidents and keeps his crate nice and dry. Look at this party boy learning all the grown-up stuff!<br/><br/>Life with Tux comes with laughter, cuddles, wiggles, and a whole lot of love. He has an enormous heart and so much affection to give. If you're looking for a dog who will keep you entertained, make you smile every day, and remind you that you are NEVER too busy for attention... Tux would like to speak with you. <br/>----<br/>*Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.*
