A volunteer writes: We all know the loveable character Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, and I could fill this space with memorable Tigger quotes, such as, “Once in a while someone amazing comes along, and here I am”. And our Tigger is seriously amazing, making the best out of a hard situation. She and her best friend, a Chihuahua, joined us when their owner died, and even though her world has turned upside down, she’s affectionate, friendly, and happy to meet new people. A walk to the park on a brutally hot day gave her a chance to go potty and show off her dreamy leash manners. Once in the park, tethered for photos, she plopped down froggy style, gave kisses and rolled over for belly rubs. Treats are taken gently from my hand, her tail wags some more, I get more kisses, and she gets more belly rubs. It’s clear that Tigger was loved, nicely socialized and beautifully taken care of. Wagging her tail in a gentle hello, she wanted to meet a small dog walking in the park. More memorable Tigger quotes sum up our girl: “How do you spell love? You don’t spell it, you feel it”. And, “I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Never, no never. Your friendship is the best present ever”. Come meet our girl, feel her love, and give her the best present ever. You.

Her eyes are averted and her ears are relaxed Toy 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then walks away. Summary: Tigger was fairly distracted throughout her assessment though displayed no behavior concerns. PLAYGROUP: When off leash with another dog, Tigger briefly greeted the social male dog. She became anxious and offered a hard correction for prolonged greeting. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 5/18/17 During her initial medical exam Tigger allowed handling ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Tigger so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. In the care center, Tigger displayed a high level of energy. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially in the behavior outlined below) Potential challenges: _X_Anxiety: Tigger has shown some signs of potential anxiety in the care center, panting and a bit focused on exit. This behavior was not reported at intake, and we have no known history on Tigger, so we cannot be certain whether similar beahvior will be seen in a future home environment. Tigger may do best with a structured routine so she can relax and know what to expect.
