Tucker Needs a Forever Home

Tucker is a Staffordshire mix with visible hints of Thai Ridgeback and Boxer. He came to the Douglas County Animal Shelter.

The shelter staff began treating Tucker and now he is well on the way to recovery. Tucker has been neutered and has had all of his shots. Tucker has one of the best personalities of any of the dogs at the shelter and he is a shelter favorite of staff and volunteers.

Come see Tucker and make friends with one of the best dogs available. Tucker loves to walk and show his affection and he gets along well with other dogs. He has a very calm and laid back personality and is waiting on that special someone to come and be his friend and companion forever.       

If you’re interested in adopting Tucker or any other dog or cat, please visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road). The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. The shelter is closed to the public on Monday, but open to rescue organizations.

Pet listings are updated frequently, however, animals featured may be adopted and that after all is the goal. If the pet you are interested in has been adopted, please consider giving another of the many available pets an opportunity to be your forever friend and allow them to show you just how special they are when they are given a chance.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats is $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and to give a furkid a forever home is a small price to pay. All dogs and cats presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough and distemper and all pets adopted from the shelter are required to have their rabies shots and be spayed or neutered within thirty days of adoption, unless they are kittens or puppies. The Douglas County Animal Shelter phone: 770-942-5961. If the line is busy, please keep trying as there is often limited staff to answer calls. However, messages left will be returned as time permits.
