Note from MSR (the Rescue): Tucker came to Rescue from a family that had previously adopted him from a shelter. While he was well loved, he needed more attention than a family with one small child and one on the way could give him. Tucker showed his need for more attention with excessive barking and severe separation anxiety.

Tuck's foster mom finally found the perfect match for him. A couple with no children who had previous experience with "problem" dogs and could devote lots of time, love and attention to Tucker.

With his new life, Tucker has a new name, Jack, and I hear he loves the beach and the walks he gets several times a week. His anxiety is almost gone and he's again at a very healthy weight.

Here's is what his new mom, Kim, has to say about Jack:

We are so blessed to have found and adopted Jack. He is truly part of our family and he brings so much joy to our lives. Working with the Miniature Schnauzer Rescue was a great experience and we are very thankful that Jack had a safe place to stay between homes. He has been doing wonderfully since we adopted him in February - he is playful and happy (can't you tell by his smile) and has so much personality - we couldn't imagine life without him!
