Meet Tucker - courtesy post
Meet Tucker!
Tucker is looking for a new home due to changes in his family's lifestyle. He is getting depressed and although they truly love him, they think he deserves the chance at a home that has more time for him.
This beautiful, purebred Aussie would enjoy a home with someone who is active and also can take him along with them, or works from home. He is okay being left alone for short periods of time, but their current work schedule of 8-10 hours a day when he's alone is hard on him, and he's starting to get depressed.
Tucker is from a breeder originally ... he is very true to his breed and he does well backpacking. He's crate-trained and trustworthy with free roam in the house. He does well on road trips and would be a nice companion for someone looking for a middle-aged herding breed dog. He is mostly well-mannered.
At one point he was trained to work sheep, but has only been herding children for the last 4 years. In the absence of a job, he could really use a lot of space with parents who are around most of the time, and a canine companion.
Tucker would be great at agility or hiking out on trails. He's gotten himself into a little trouble a few times with the herding kids... nothing terrible at all but when a bunch of visitor kids come over and everyone is running around like crazy, Tucker has tried to round up the kids and on occasion has used his mouth. So he'd do better in a child-free home.... but this is not why his people are wanting to rehome him.
We're going to ask that whoever adopts Tucker works with a force-free trainer and learns how to engage his brain with enrichment and learning new skills. This dog is smart and wants to learn and work. We also have great webinars we can send to whoever gets him on how to meet the mental needs of a really smart dog.
We're also saying No Apartments or Condos for this boy. He'll need some land or a big space in a rural environment to roam around in for his best wellbeing.
Tucker is a courtesy post, but SDR is helping make sure his next home is forever. His current family is happy to keep him as long as needed.
If you're interested in adopting this wonderful dog, send us an email at [email protected], telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you shortly. Thanks.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
