You don’t see many Chinese Cresteds in rescue, so when a little guy like Tucker and his two possible siblings, Kai and Winston (all up for adoption) come our way, we know how popular they will be - suggestion: if you love this breed, don't hesitate to apply ASAP.These 3 were living in the backyard of a "breeder" in rural Tennessee who could not sell them so she turned them over to a rescue. They apparently have lived their entire life outside. Although these puppies were dumped by a crested breeder, we don't have AKC papers (of course) and cannot guarantee they are 100% purebred, but they are all adorable puppies.Thankfully, they are adjusting beautifully to the good life. They are currently living with other dogs in their foster home. They are on the shy side, so we actually are requiring that their forever home have another small confident friendly pup in the homeThese pups haven't been child-tested, so we’re looking for a home where any children are gentle and understand these are small dogs, not toys.Tucker loves to run everywhere and play chase with Kai. He is not afraid of his foster's big dog and in fact tries to jump on him! He's super affectionate and will let you hold him for long periods of time. And he's a good eater!Like all puppies, his new family should be ready for the fun—and work—that comes with raising a young dog. They'll need continued house training, crate training, leash work, basic manners, socialization, and plenty of patience as they grow into the great little dog we know he can be.If you’ve always wanted a Chinese Crested, you may be in luck.All known information about the animal is listed above.
