Meet Tucker

Meet Tucker! A devoted four-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher mix from Long Beach, CA, whose heart is as big as his 95-pound frame and as warm as his black and tan coat. Tucker is the kind of pup who makes every day feel like an adventure wrapped in a hug! With his soulful eyes, impressive smarts, and a deep love for fetch, tug of war, and dog beach romps, he's the total package. He’s got a medium energy level that’s just right—ready to play or head out for a good sniff-walk, but also just as content to curl up for a long cuddle session (his specialty, by the way)! Tucker’s a true cuddlebug, always up for sofa snuggles and belly rubs—yes, he is allowed on the furniture, and he hopes that’s the case in his new home too! He’s been through formal obedience training and knows his commands—“sit,” “down,” “leave it,” and “come”—like a pro. He thrives with gentle, positive reinforcement, and appreciates structure, especially on leash walks where seeing other dogs can get him a bit excited. He’s done well with other dogs, especially when given time and space, and he’s made great strides learning how to stay calm, even when things get noisy. Tucker does have a high prey drive, so it’s best to be mindful during energetic dog play sessions or when small animals are around. Tucker is crate trained, house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. His sensitive skin means he does best with beef or salmon-based food and sensitive skin shampoo, but he's otherwise a healthy, happy guy ready for his next chapter! He’d do great in a home with someone experienced with large breeds—someone who will enjoy his goofy side, his loyal companionship, and the joy of seeing him snoozing peacefully after a beach day or puzzle toy session. Are you ready to share your life—and your couch—with a sweet, loyal companion like Tucker? Reach out to meet him today at [email protected]. He’s waiting to become someone’s favorite shadow! Could it be yours?
