Tigger’s foster mom, Jenn, sent the following update today:
Tigger is such a sweet and affectionate little boy to other dogs, females and kids. He has made remarkable progress with his foster dad and now I catch them both snuggling together in bed. He is still very timid around men that he doesn’t know that well, but is comfortable and lovable with men that he lives with after a brief adjustment period. Tigger has been to a couple meetups and has won the hearts of all the other owners and their Shibas. He loves chewing on his bone, playing with his kong and running the Shiba 500 with his foster brother and sister. Tiggers favorite things in life are scrambled eggs on the weekend, salmon, venison, going for walks and “chillin’ out” with Sydney and Sheba.
Tigger also loves his people - mommy and daddy. He misses them when they leave and gives them hugs and kisses when they get home. He has the cutest little yowl that I swear he is trying to say I love you. Every time he is happy to see someone he gives this yowl letting you know he is so happy to see you. He just loves his people and will make a wonderful family member and hopes he can share his life with at least one other non-aggressive brother or sister Shiba.

I just lost my Shiba after 17 years. he was a great dog,friend, and family member and will never be forgotten. That being said, I miss not having a dog so I am looking to rescue an unfortunate
soul. Tigger seems like just the dog I am looking for. I am very interested if he is available for consideration.
Thank You,
Bob

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Tigger is a wonderful little boy with lots of personality. I will be honest with you, he is a bit aloof with men, but he does warm up to those he knows and trusts. He is such a joy to come home to and he greets me everyday with a hug and a kiss. He is a real sweetheart!
