Tuxedo

Tuxedo's Story

Tuxedo has already lived through more than any young dog should. He was first seen wandering the streets of a Central Valley town, thin to the bone, his hips and ribs showing that he had been fending for himself far too long. For a while he stayed in a homeless encampment, where people tied him out in the scorching sun with no food, water, or shade.

Norsled heard about his plight and went directly to safe him. When help finally came, Tuxedo didn't fight it - he seemed to know that kindness had finally found him. Now safe, vetted, and cared for, he is learning what it feels like to belong. He sticks close to his humans, as if afraid that if he lets them out of his sight, he'll be abandoned again. With meals, he is cautious, clearly remembering the times when food was scarce. Slowly, with patience, he is realizing that his bowl will always be filled and that gentle hands won't let him down.

Through it all, Tuxedo's heart has remained open. He is tender, loyal, and deeply grateful for every bit of love he receives. What he longs for now is a forever home with someone patient and caring - a person who will give him the security he's been searching for all his life.

Tuxedo has so much to offer. He's only about a year old, and with love and time, he will blossom into the devoted companion he was always meant to be.
