4/1/10 - HAPPY BEGINNINGS!
Tucker was adopted into our family on February 27, 2009. He
and his new sister,
Brittany, were both made official members of the Long family with new
name tags engraved with their full names: Brittany Maeve Long and Tucker
Reagan Long.
Tucker has been an absolute dream since day one. He is so well behaved
and is a great guard dog. He has helped us immensely with training Brit
as well. We had been having problems with her leaving messes in the house
while we weren't home. She has really learned her manners and her potty
training from Tucker. Seems she learned from seeing and doing rather than
being told.
On the one year anniversary that Brittany became our girl, we heard her
bark for the first time. I was as proud as a mother hearing her child
utter her first word. She learned how to be a guard dog, just like
Tucker!
This February, we celebrated what's been dubbed "Doggy Day."
February 28 was Ace's
birthday. Since we don't know Brit or Tucker's real date of birth, we
decided to make February 28 Doggy Day to honor our boy, Ace. We
celebrated Brittany's 5th and Tucker's 4th birthday with treats and ice
cream. Their Lhaso Apso cousin Stinkie helped them celebrate.
I wanted to share our story with you so that anyone interested in adopting
can see what a wonderful experience it can be. We have been so blessed to
have Brittany and Tucker as part of our family; I feel richer
because of it. They've become my children. I cannot imagine how or why
these two were not wanted in their former homes, but I suppose one man's
trash is another man's treasure. Everyone that meets them tries to sneak
out the door with them because they fall in love with our kids.
Brittany's foster mom visits often with her adopted rescue Apollo and Brit
loves every minute of their visits. We are in constant contact with
Tucker's foster family as well. I recommend AABR to anyone that tells me
they're interested in adopting and I love to show off pictures of my kids.
What your organization does for these dogs is just wonderful and I will
always adopt from you should we ever decide to adopt in the future. God
Bless you and all that AABR does for these dogs. Please enjoy and feel
free to share on AABR's website the pictures I have attached.
Sincerely,
Matt, Valerie, Brittany and Tucker Long

Update - Tucker is in a
foster home with two other boxers and four cats. He is getting along really
well with everybody and adjusted quickly to his new home. Tucker loves to
play in the fenced yard and with his toys. He is housetrained and crate
trained. Tucker's foster mom indicates that he is an extremely sweet and
loving boy. Since he enjoys the company of his foster brothers and sisters
so much, we would love to see him placed in a home with another dog to play
with! If you can provide a wonderful, forever home for Tucker - submit your
application for him today!

Tucker is a beautiful fawn boy who was found as a stray. He is estimated
to be around 3 yrs old.
Tucker passed both the dog and cat test at the shelter without any
problems. During his transport, he was very sweet and friendly with
everybody that he met. Tucker will be going into a foster home soon and we
will update his page once we learn more about him.
Thank you for your interest in Tucker !
