About This Dog for Adoption

Tucker's ideal home

Tucker is a charming 3-year-7-month-old pup who, despite feeling a little conflicted and worried when meeting new people, quickly discovers that cuddles are his favourite thing in the world. Once he’s comfortable, he becomes a loving, affectionate companion who thrives on human interaction. Tucker can be excitable and unsure around other dogs, sometimes struggling to read their signals, so he’ll need ongoing, patient socialisation to help build his confidence. With no previous history of living in a home, he’ll require understanding adopters who can guide him through housetraining and the routines of family life. Tucker has medium energy levels and absolutely loves getting out and about to explore new sights and smells.

Could you be Tucker's perfect match?

Tucker is looking for a calm home where he can settle at his own pace. He needs a secure, private garden and someone around for most of the time initially to help him adjust. Tucker cannot live with cats or small furries, but he can live with children aged 11+ who understand the importance of giving him space when needed. His love of food and tasty treats will help you win his trust and support his training journey. If you’re ready to offer time, patience, and lots of gentle guidance, Tucker will reward you with devotion, character, and endless cuddles. Tucker does have a grade 1 luxating patella which does not slow him down but should be monitored regularly.

Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

  • Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
  • Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
  • Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
  • Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
  • If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
