Rover Rescue Dog of the Week

Can you hear me RRROOOAAARRR??   Of course not, Silly!  I am a dog, not a big striped cat!  But my name is TIGER!  My foster mom thinks that I could easily change my name to Tigger.  You know, the tiger who is Winnie the Pooh’s friend that lives in the 100 Acre Wood .   I have to admit, Tigger and I have a lot in common, including our zest for life and the motto to have fun, fun, fun!   But let me tell you about me, TIGER!   I am an adorable one and a half year old Spaniel Mix who weighs a healthy 40 pounds.  I have a handsome red and white coat…sorry no stripes, but I do have some cute freckles!   I am a really happy, loving, exuberant boy!   I have a lot of energy and it sometimes gets me in trouble.  But why be boring and walk when you can run and dash and bounce and flounce??   I would love to have a high energy buddy (human or canine) to accompany me on my adventures.   I love kids, but would probably not do so well with the young ones.  I would really hate to knock them down when I am being jumpy, bumpy and thumpy.   A fenced-in yard is pretty much a requirement for me.  I would make a great running partner, though I do need to work some more on my leash skills. We could master that together!   I love dogs of all shapes and sizes so frequent trips to the local dog park would be awesome!   I have never been introduced to cats so I don’t know how well I would do with them.  They would have to be okay with an enthusiastic playmate like myself.    I am told that I am a really good, charming boy.   I am housebroken and crate trained.  The only time I need to be in my crate is when I am left home alone.  Otherwise, you never know what mischief I can get into trying to entertain myself!   I love to ride in the car and am a good passenger.  My foster mom frequently tells me how smart I am!  I know how to sit, to give paw and I am learning to play fetch.   I am looking for a family who will love me and spend time with me, as there is nothing better in the world!  I am hoping to put my past behind me; being a stray in a high-kill shelter and being returned twice to Rover Rescue due to my elevated energy level.  I know that there is someone out there that will appreciate me bringing color and energy to their world, is that you?  I promise that if you are feeling down, that my cheerful, sweet personality will have you smiling in no time.   If you think I am the one to bring excitement and fun into your life, please call Teri at 630-897-7454.  Remember:  the wonderful thing about TIGER is that TIGER is a wonderful thing.    http://youtu.be/GHmGMGhWZzM
