Tigger II has come a long way from the frightened little beagle who arrived last October. We believe Tigger and Pooh are brothers. Originally, they were not fostered together, but were near enough to play together several times a week. Now they are in the same foster home. Tigger has learned to trust his foster mom and dad, and he seems quite willing to trust other people, as long as he is not restricted or restrained. He has become happily compliant with household routines and uses a dog door to go outside to potty and run about. He comes in frequently to nap in his favorite places. Tigger is ABSOLUTELY food motivated and will totally go in his crate for meals and bedtime treats, but then is allowed to sleep on a dog bed or on the bed with foster mom. Mornings he will often be sweetly affectionate and appreciates petting, rubs and even a little play...as long as he is not held. He will move away if he feels uncomfortable. In the beginning, the only time he could be petted was when his face was in a food dish. It was then his foster mom could put a harness on him and he would allow belly rubs and petting. Tigger is a confident little boy who walks with a sassy little swagger. He is alert, energetic and stinking cute! He needs another dog to play with for sure, and we'd actually love it if he got adopted together with Pooh. Tigger's family will really need to be patient and continue to allow him to develop trust with their physical contact.
