Tucker

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Young Β· 1 year

Lieve, cheerful Tucker has recently joined our shelter, but he's doing incredibly well! He's a gentle, affectionate dog who loves to cuddle. Tucker is very people-oriented and quickly bonds with you. He also likes to greet strangers he meets on the street, everyone is fun. He's a moderately active dog and enjoys long walks in nature. He's then nice and calm indoors. He already gets along well in the car. He also walks well on a leash. He's not anxious on the street and is calm and social with other dogs. Tucker is super sweet, housebroken (he still needs to go out a bit more often) and not really watchful. He seems to have some hunting instincts like looking for mice and moles. He's calm around cats, if they don't run away. So with a gradual introduction and guidance, he would probably be able to live with cats in the house. Tucker is looking for a loving, gentle, and sporty owner to go on walks with. He would also probably love going to a dog course from time to time. He's smart and driven. Having another dog in the house to play with would also be very nice for him. We are looking for an owner who wants to go all out for him and believes in calm and positive guidance of a dog. Tucker loves company and especially likes to lie against you on the couch and bed. He presses himself right up against you. So it's very important that he can continue to do this in his new home. Are you the one Tucker can curl up against in the evenings?

Lieve, vrolijke Tucker is sinds kort bij ons in opvang, maar wat doet hij het al ontzettend goed! Hij is een zachtaardige, aanhankelijke hond, die graag gezellig met je wil knuffelen. Tucker is erg mensgericht en hecht zich snel aan je. Vreemde mensen die hij op straat tegenkomt wil hij ook graag even begroeten, iedereen is leuk. Hij is een gemiddeld actieve hond en vindt het fijn om lange wandelingen in de natuur te maken. Binnen is hij daarna lekker rustig. Hij gaat al goed mee in de auto. Ook het lopen aan de lijn gaat heel goed. Hij is niet angstig op straat en is rustig en sociaal naar andere honden. Tucker is superlief, zindelijk (hij moet wel nog wat vaker uit) en niet echt waaks. Hij lijkt wel wat jachtinstinct te hebben zoals muisjes en molletjes zoeken. Hij is rustig naar katten, als die niet wegrennen. Dus met een geleidelijke introductie en begeleiding zal hij waarschijnlijk ook bij katten in huis kunnen. Tucker zoekt een lief, zachtaardig en sportief baasje om lekker samen wandelingen mee te maken. Ook t. z. t. samen naar een hondencursus zou hij denk ik heel leuk vinden. Hij is slim en gedreven. Een andere hond in huis waar hij mee kan spelen zou hij ook heel erg leuk vinden. We zoeken een baasje die helemaal voor hem wil gaan en gelooft in het rustig en positief begeleiden van een hond. Tucker houdt erg van gezelligheid en wil vooral graag tegen je aan liggen op de bank en op bed. Dan drukt hij zich helemaal tegen je aan. Het is dus heel belangrijk dat hij dit in zijn nieuwe huisje mag blijven doen. Ben jij diegene tegen wie Tucker zich β€˜s avonds lekker op kan rollen?

About Tucker

What life with Tucker looks like

Tucker is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey in Netherlands.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tucker, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tucker?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dogs on a Journey handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tucker on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tucker if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Stichting Dogs on a Journey will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tucker already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tucker isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stichting Dogs on a Journey early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tucker and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
