Tui Maria

Route Scout and Head of Cuddle Complaince

 

As our official Route Scout, Tui takes his walking duties very seriously. He’s always eager to hit the sidewalks, sniff out the best paths, and make sure every stroll is filled with excitement. When he’s not scouting new routes throughout Philly, you’ll find him in his equally important role as Head of Cuddle Compliance—because no day is complete without snuggles. And trust us when we say he is a word-class snuggler who takes his duties very seriously. He melts into humans.

​

A proud Street Tails Animal Rescue alum, Tui has brought endless joy, laughter, and love to family. His hobbies include paddleboard rides on Lake Michigan (he’s still making up his mind about actual swimming), napping absolutely anywhere, hiking, camping and reminding us all that treats are the best part of everyday. He has an oddly long tail and velvet ears. (And we've been told about 3,573 times that he looks like Scooby Doo, but we know he's just the perfect mutt. And possibly part dragon.)

 

We love him to bits and he exceeds expectations at work (and home).
