These TIGR rescues are looking for homes — |
Charlie is a 10-month-old, male Italian Greyhound rescued from a breeder who left him outside most of the time with many other dogs. He was born with a ‘hairless’ condition that was left untreated by the breeder. Without hair to protect him from the elements, his skin became red and inflamed. He was also underweight among other things. Since his rescue, Charlie has received treatment and lots of love in a home with two other IG’s. Now his hair is growing back, his skin looks fabulous, and he’s putting on weight. He is great with other dogs and loves to play. Charlie would be a perfect companion for someone. He loves to curl up in your lap while you watch TV or surf the internet. At night he likes to sleep under the covers next to you, keeping you nice and warm. He does really well when left at home in his crate, although he would probably do best if left crated with another dog while you are away. Charlie has made great strides with potty training but there are still some occasional mistakes. Charlie is very special. After everything he’s been through he deserves a great home where people will love and care for him. Will that person be you? |
Dino came in as a owner surrender. He will be 8 years old in Oct and has been with the same owner since a pup until now. He is a sweet guy who loves to be loved on and cuddled with, on his own terms. He will crawl under the bed covers and sleep all night long next to a warm body. He is more potty trained than any Iggy I've met so far. That is to say he does go outside, but still has an occasional accident in the house. He loves the doggy door now! His foster mom is a stay at home person, so someone is with him all day long. He's been to one play date and had tons of fun running around. So much so that he didn't want to leave and it took us 30 mins to round him up. Dino does not have any of the basic commands like come, sit or stay. But he loves treats, so I think he could be taught once he becomes comfortable with his new home. Dino would benefit best from someone who is home with him and wants a snuggle buddy. He is shy with people and it will take a long time and a lot of patience for him to warm up to you. He still runs from us if we try to walk up to him and pet him. But if he is laying on the sofa or bed he will usually let us come sit with him and love on him. It is extremely important that the person that takes Dino into their forever home be patient and kind. Sudden moves and loud noises scare him. I would recommend no children be around Dino. I cannot stress enough that he needs someone who is extremely patient and with a kind heart for sweet dogs. |
Meet Ziggy. He's such a cutie patooty, playful, full of energy (the good kind). He has such great markings and coloring. What a great face he has. He's comfortable with ladies, men and kids. He really enjoys playing and if you have older kids, what a great match he would be. He's even good with cats, so no worries there if you have a cat. Ziggy is approximately 9 months old and in excellent health. He's willing and ready to nestle in to his new Forever Home. Truly an awesome dog! |
My name is Tess. I am a mature, housebroken iggy. My foster mom has a doggie door I use easily with my other furry siblings. We get along well during the day running and playing together. In the evening, I like to curl up with them and clean their ears. My nature is to nurture other dogs. In my new home I would like to have another relaxed iggy sibling to play and cuddle with in a blanket. At bedtime I am affectionate and love to sleep on my foster mom's feet. During the day I can be a bit stand offish and skittish of loud noises or quick movements, a bit cat like in my ways. My black shiny coat and petite stature make me a pretty sight sitting on the back of the couch sunbathing. I am capable of jumping on chairs to reach bits of food you may leave behind. I have become attached to my foster family and say "hello" with barking as it can be exciting to see the ones I love come back to me. Give me a chance to greet you as you come home! |
Contact TIGR about Dutchess & Daisy Daisy (black and white) and Duchess (red and white) are mother and daughter and are very close. They will lie together and lick on each other. It is comforting to just watch them “enjoy” each other’s company. They are both very affectionate and enjoy being with you. They sit on the couch with us at night and are either in our lap or close by our sides. They are a joy to have around and have been no problem at all. They are about 90% housebroken and get along well with our IG’s and Greyhounds. They are crate trained (and stay in the same crate) and sleep in bed with us at night. They are wonderful snugglers. My hope (and prayer) is that they can be adopted together. They love to be loved and love giving love. Daisy and Duchess are true companions in every sense of the word. I can’t say enough good things about these girls! |
