This resilient little boy is something else - Tucker is a little new to us but his foster mom has been busy getting him everything he needs to help us fin dhis forever home.

Tucker was surrendered by his family when they realized that after an injury in May leaving him semi-paralyzed.  They did what they could be could not afford to get the injury examined and he was left to rehab on his own which he did quite well actually.  Tucker can walk and run but exhibits hind end weakness that worsens when he is tired.    It was thought originally that he was incontinent but as it turns out, no he isn’t - he just wasn’t completely house trained - his foster mom is working on this and he’s coming along great.

An evaluation at Boston Animal Hospital where the team feels that with some strength training and appropriate guided rehab, he can eventually (in 8-10 weeks) graduate to home exercises at which point he should be as close to “normal” as possible - they had a very positive outlook for this boy. 

Tucker lives with his foster brother and they get along great - he also went to daycare where he did really well also - he’s fine with other dogs.  We believe he lived with children in the past.

At 4 years old, this boy has so much to live for and we are 100% confident he’s going to do great in training and then move on to life of running, hiking and having a ball.   He already goes hiking but when he gets tired his foster mom provides him with assistance and he keeps going. 

Having people of his own to continue on his journey is what he’s looking for.  Thinking it may be you?  The application link is above - even just to get more information, feel free to complete an application and we are happy to get back to you!

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
