History: Tux FKA Bandit is a really striking lab mix who was returned to rescue when his owner had a really sad life change and could no longer care for him. Tux loves people and other dogs and is a very "typical" happy-go-lucky labby boy!
A note from the foster: He is a happy guy, very friendly. Does well with our two dogs. They just adore each other and play nonstop. Tux sometimes gets protective of his food, so we feed him in his kennel. He got his teeth cleaned so now has the nicest doggy breath! Oral care will be important for him. Besides being great with other dogs, Tux is also good with kids and men and women. We have a fenced in yard so so most of his exercise there, but he also seems to do well on a leash.Tux is great at playing ball, much to the annoyance of our ball-hog pittie. He is a Velcro dog, so his person should expect a constant companion. He sleeps well in a kennel but prefers to snuggle with you. This guy is ready to meet his new best friend!
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsively more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
