Tucker is a 1-2 year old blue brindle male pitbull. He was picked up as a stray by an animal control officer and taken to a local shelter where he was scheduled to be euthanized because of his breed. He was emaciated and only weighed 23 lbs as you can see in his before picture. A Bama Bully volunteer did a preliminary evaluation, found no red flags which allowed us to pull him and place him in a foster home with another representative of BBR. Tucker has beautiful, expressive eyes that match his coat perfectly. He gets along well with cats and other dogs. He loves to run and play and loves his toys and to play tug of war. He is a mid energy level dog. He likes to run a few laps around the yard but always settles down on his own or comes back when he is called. He is often playful inside but rarely rowdy. Tucker can be a bit shy and fearful at first but quickly warms up. He would do best in a home with someone that understands what he has been through and willing and able work with him on increasing his confidence and learning that no one will ever treat him badly again. Tucker had a rough start to life but has adjusted well to being spoiled in his new foster home. He is now up to 42 lbs. He is crate trained and loves his crate almost as much as he loves the couch. Baths aren't Tucker's favorite thing but he tolerates them well. He sits on cue and walks well on a leash. He has a great recall and is very affectionate. Tucker is slightly fearful of sudden loud sounds but recovers quickly to go investigate. He doesn't seem to mind constant sounds such as thunderstorms or the vaccuum. Although he does seem to be afraid of vehicles. He rides well in a car but will not get in one on his own. He is afraid of sudden movements towards him and will run back to his crate. Tucker is working on becoming reliably housetrained. He does well but occasionally has an accident. He must be taken out immediately after he eats. He is learning to go to the door when he needs to go out. Tucker still needs some work on not jumping, he just is so happy to finally have someone that loves him, he can't resist to jump up and give you a kiss.
