Pet of the Week

Tucker

Christmas for this*stray rottweiler-retriever mix was looking pretty bleak. When you're homeless and hungry, holidays mean nothing. Somebody was nice enough to bring*Tucker into the shelter, but*he was so scared that all he did was pee on himself and cower. Soon, Tucker realized*the people at the shelter gave him love, as well as food and warmth. And he learned that*everyone who came to visit loved him, too. Now Tucker is friendly, sweet and outgoing, and he only pees when and where he's supposed to. He has reddish-colored fur, so put a green bandana on him and you've got the perfect Christmas canine!
