About Tuzik

This is Tuzik! (Too-zick)This boy is a 1.5yr old, neutered, male, Pitty mix with the biggest heart that can not wait to share all of his love with a family! This boy is the biggest goober! He is a very intelligent, super sweet boy who is absolutely going crazy at our shelter. We have had no interest in him due to his look, however, mostly due to a 'kink' in his spine that make his legs hyper extend sometimes. We had him evaluated by 2 separate Veterinarians and both stated it won't get any better but it won't get any worse. Think of the legs of a newborn deer or horse; it's only when he gets tired when you really notice. This seems to be the deterrent to potential adopters and to the rescues we've reached out to. We all want the best for him! He is extremely loving and let's any other dog lick him all over and lick the moisture out of his mouth (he does the same). He LOVES attention! He learns things so quick! He plays well with others and takes correction very well from other dogs and people! He hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding. He just loves other dogs and people! He is only a little over a year old and we've had him since 1/18/25. He is getting so frustrated and we love him so much. We don't want to see him completely mentally deteriorate! Please call the shelter 706-769-3956 and ask for Medical Officer McAllister to discuss if interested or if you have any questions. https://www.oconeecountyga.gov/forms.asp
