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. Tigger is approximately 1 month old and weighs around 4 lbs. We believe he may be a Lab mix with some chihuahua mixed in, but as with any rescue animal, breed is always a bit of a mystery. His mom is about 18 lbs, so we know this litter has some small genetics mixed in.
Tigger is still a 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. He enjoys wrestling with his siblings and happily joins in when it's time to play, having decided that just about anything can become a toy with enough imagination. One of his favorite things is to sit back and simply watch everything going on around him, and we have a feeling he's going to grow into an easygoing, distinguished gentleman who enjoys being part of the action without always feeling like he has to be the center of it. Life currently revolves around puppy essentials: playing hard, eating well, and taking lots of naps.
Ideal Home
Tigger is still very young and will need 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 up to date on age-appropriate vetting, which includes DAPP vaccinations with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, and flea prevention. He will be neutered prior to adoption and will receive a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable. A health certificate deeming him healthy for travel will be provided.
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. Our trainers on staff have assessed Tigger and will provide behavioral information to help ensure a perfect fit for your family.
