Hello, our dogs name is Tucker and he’s been having aggression issues with my toddler. We’ve tried everything and unfortunately he’s just never been good with younger kids, other dogs, or animals but is very chill and loves people. We’re looking for a good and loving home to live out the rest of his days. He’s 9 years old and healthy, house trained, potty trained, and walks on a front lead leash well. He loves cuddles and likes walks if an apartment or being in a backyard.
