Calling all hound lovers! Tucker, our Black & Tan Coonhound mix, came all the way from an overcrowded shelter in South Carolina to find a family to love and call his own. While Tucker does not bay or howl which is typical of hounds, his voice carries when he gets excited so he is not a good candidate for apartment living. He would love a home with some space and freedom of a fenced in yard to romp off-leash.

If you are looking for a walking companion, look no further as Tucker walks nicely on leash and looks forward to daily walks with neighbors and canine friends. Then he is quite content to lounge and snooze on the couch for the rest of the day. While Tucker is housebroken and has earned free run of the house, he will counter surf in search of any delicious snacks when left unattended. Heck, who doesn’t love a good snack! Offer Tucker a tasty treat though and he quickly picks up on basic obedience skills….sit, stay, down, polite greetings, and automatically moves to a sit to let cars pass by.

Tucker’s super friendly, sweet and gentle temperament makes him the ideal sidekick to join in activities with family, canine friends, and mingle with children. Tucker would do best in a feline free home. True to his breed, Tucker would excel at tracking and scent games, enjoys a good sniffari adventure, or any outlet that puts his nose to work.

Approximately 5 years old, 57 lbs, healthy, happy and ready to meet his lifelong family. If you are interested in meeting Tucker, please start by applying here
