Biography
NO ADOPTION FEE IN FEBRUARY--FIND LOVE WITH A SENIOR. Tucker was found wandering on the street near an elementary school. He was taken in by a great family who searched diligently for his people, but never got a response to their efforts.
Tucker is a sweet laid back senior fellow. He has cataracts so his vision is somewhat limited, but he moves around his new foster home quite confidently. He has a bit of arthritis, but seems to be responding to a glucosamine compound. He needs to shed a few pounds and that should help him be more comfortable too. You will have to be strong to resist his pleading eyes!! He needs help with stairs. He can handle a single step, but doesn't handle lots of steps too well. He did well with my ramp. Tucker loves to be on the couch with you being stroked and told what a handsome boy he is. He might do best in a relatively quiet home without crazy young whipper snapper dogs to pester him. He did fine with the cat in his temporary rescue home too. He barked at the kitty twice, was told no, and that was it. He also did very well with a Christmas gathering that included some very young children. Older children might be best as they would better understand his needs.
Don't you need such a great senior fellow in your heart and home?
