“Hi, I’m TUCKER, a 4-year-old
Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. My
friend Henry and I were brought to
HSCO when our owner could no
longer care for us. We’re the best
of buddies and would love to go to
our new home together. We enjoy
being outside, getting snuggled,
going on walks, hiking, sniffi ng
new things, and being cute. We
have basic training already and
walk well on a leash. Can we
both go home with you?”
