Have you ever looked at a puppy and thought... "That has to be a tiny bear?" Because that's exactly what happens when you meet Tigger! This chunky little boy looks like someone took a fluffy little polar bear, added the cutest brown bear patches, and somehow made the whole thing puppy-sized. Between his unique coloring, his sweet little face, and those irresistibly squishy puppy proportions, he's about as close to a real-life teddy bear as they come. He's still just a teeny tiny baby discovering the world one day at a time, and getting to watch his little personality begin to emerge has been nothing short of adorable. Tigger is approximately 1 month old and weighs around 4 lbs. We believe he may be a Lab mix with some Chihuahua mixed in. His mom is only about 18 lbs, so we know this litter has some small genetics mixed in. Like any young puppy, Tigger's personality is still developing, but we're already getting glimpses of the wonderful dog he's becoming. He enjoys wrestling with his siblings, happily joins in when it's time to play, and has already decided that just about anything can become a toy if you use enough imagination. One of our favorite things about Tigger, though, is that he seems to have a wonderfully thoughtful side. After joining in on the fun, he's often happy to sit back for a moment and simply watch everything going on around him. We have a feeling he's going to grow into one of those easygoing, distinguished gentlemen who enjoys being part of the action without always feeling like he has to be the center of it. Of course, he's still a baby, which means life currently revolves around all the puppy essentials: playing hard, eating well, taking lots of naps, and then waking up ready to do it all over again. Every day brings new experiences, new discoveries, and another opportunity for his personality to continue blossoming.
Ideal Home
Tigger needs a family that's ready to commit to all the time, patience, training, and socialization that come with raising a puppy.
Ongoing Health
Tigger is a young puppy and will need ongoing veterinary care as he grows.
Training & Support
Establishing routines, providing structure, setting healthy boundaries, and introducing him to the world through positive experiences will all help him grow into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. We require our adopters to begin crate training as soon as their new puppy comes home, as it plays an important role in potty training, learning good habits, managing puppy energy, and helping them feel safe and secure.
