Adopted
Date Arrived at Meant 2B Loved: May 18, 2021
Male
Approximate Age: 1.5 years

Tigger is a high energy, loveable boy who thinks he is a lap dog. He will crawl up onto your lap and snuggle right in. He loves to be around people and other dogs; he is very food driven and does well with treats (this is ongoing training aid). He will welcome you home with licks (and jump up and lick your face if you let him…LOL).

Tigger can become over-confident in his position in the household and let you know by growling if he doesn’t want to move when told to. However, his fosters have never felt he would bite during these times. They have worked with a trainer to curb his growling which has definitely improved! We will provide two sessions with the trainer to help his adopter get him settled into his new home.

Tigger is friendly with his two feline foster siblings and wants to play with them. He loves to play with the neighbour’s dog! He does very well with dogs his own size. Although he is untested with small dogs, we believe he would do well with them since he is comfortable with the cats. Tigger has been around teenage kids but not younger children.

Tigger loves to go for walks and would do well with a family that is active with a fenced yard. We feel he would be able to be off leash with a bit of recall training. The couple times he has gotten off leash he has not gone far and was fairly easy to catch.

He can become hyper focused on wildlife (and may growl if you grab his collar); however, he can be redirected with his leash. We recommend setting boundaries early on (such as not allowing him on the couch or in the kitchen). He may growl when asked to get off the couch, and while in the kitchen, he will take any opportunity to eat off the counter when your back is turned.

He is currently on a Taiga pork diet due to possible beef and poultry allergy.

Tigger is a sweetheart and will melt your heart! He does have his quirks (don’t we all??!) but with trust, training and time to settle in, he will be a great addition to your family!
