All shelter dogs are just dreaming of the day a family will adopt them and give them a new home. But recently, one rescue dog got more than he could’ve ever dreamed of: he was adopted by a whole Major League Baseball team!
The Seattle Mariners announced over the weekend that they had added an adorable new player to their roster: a 4-year-old mixed Labrador named Tucker.
The rescue dog was adopted by the entire Mariners clubhouse from OkanDogs, a non-profit animal rescue in Okanogan County, Washington.
According to a news release from the MLB, Mariners manager Scott Servais, along with his wife Jill, has been volunteering with the rescue. The couple has been involved with animal rescues for over 30 years.
“He just got activated today and will be a great addition to our team,” Servais said about Tucker.
