Even though Tigger is a medium sized dog, don’t tell him that he’s too big for you to hold him! Curious and mild tempered, Tigger is generally even keeled and friendly. Upon meeting someone new, Tigger walks right up without concern eager to say hello! He lives for human affection and like his bro Sammie, will always be on the lookout for cuddles! During meetings, you'll ALWAYS find Tigger snuggled up next to someone burrowed under blankets or even a jacket if a blanket isn't readily available!
Tigger fully enjoys going for walks and off leash playtime in the yards. As soon as he sees the leash, Tigger jumps straight up in the air..BOING! Hence where he got his name Tigger from!
On walks, he sometimes needs to be shown that new objects and surroundings are safe, but he generally moves on once you show him it’s okay. Tigger is still learning how to interact with dogs other than Sammie. It seems he really needs to trust the other dog in order to let his guard down. We have allowed him to spend lots of time with other welcoming dogs to get him used to others and he's doing really well! Tigger is active and upbeat, always ready to do whatever the humans have planned for the day. He really doesn't ask for much and is such an easy going dude. |
Tigger and Sammie were both surrendered to a kill shelter in South Carolina although their past beyond that is not known. They adore one another and have such a sweet, nurturing relationship. When one sleeps, so does the other! When one goes out to potty, so does the other! They will spend hours nuzzling and grooming each other like cats! We are so hoping someone will come forward to adopt both of them together!
