True Blue Tuck Australian Shepherd Reston, VA

Tuck is an incredibly sweet, gentle dog. He was brought into a shelter with 2 other dogs, because their owner was allowing them to roam at large, and he was about to get into trouble. It's a good thing for Tuck though, because now he can have the kind of family who will cherish and protect him.

Tuck looks just like a Great Pyr, but without the size. He is just 45 lbs. This gorgeous boy has been so good with other dogs, But as can be true to his breed, he can be leary of people he doesn't know. Never in a biting way, but he can bark and low growl - all show, but he needs to be allowed to meet people on his terms. However, when an 11 year old girl visited him, he was the perfect gentleman, allowing her to walk him on a leash with ease. He was polite and not rowdy in any way, despite the fact that he is only about 3 years old. He is crate trained, and even though he would prefer not to be in a crate, but out with the his person/family instead, he does tolerate it and has no accidents there or inside.

Once he knows you, he is your very best friend. He rides along with me for lunch trips to McDonald's and enjoys an occasional cheeseburger. Super, super loving. But because of his initial timidness, we feel he would be best suited for a quieter home, in a rural or suburban environment. A single woman would be perfect, or maybe a single woman with an older child. Having a dog would be great as well.


Tuck also gets along great with other dogs - allowing them their space and waiting to be invited in. He can be slightly timid with people he does not know, but bonds VERY quickly. He wants his own family to love and be loved by.

Tuck has been neutered, is up to date on his vaccines and dewormings and has been microchipped. He's looking for his perfect person, who thinks he is perfect as well. His adoption fee is $450.
