Hi! I’m Tiga – but my foster mom calls me Rufio (you know, from Hook – because I’m cool, sweet, and just a bit wild once I feel safe). I’m a Pittie/Shepherd mix with big paws, floppy ears, and some seriously athletic hops. I came into rescue with my littermates, but now I’m learning how to be a good boy all on my own – and I’m crushing it. I’m sweet, playful, and a little clumsy, in a charming way. I’ll follow the big dogs around and copy everything they do, because clearly, they know what’s up!
I’m still figuring out this whole potty training thing and the kennel is fine, I guess. I’m working on it! My foster mom says I’m doing great for my age, but I still need a family who understands that puppies take time, patience, and lots of praise (and don’t skimp on the treats). Also, sometimes I chomp on things I shouldn’t, but my foster mom has been showing me that toys are way more fun than fingers, shoes, or my foster dad’s beard. 🙂
I live with a whole crew of dogs right now, and I LOVE them. Like, a lot! I play, wrestle, try to make them snuggle me, and learn all my best moves by watching them. My favorite thing in the world is running around with the pack, then crashing in a puppy pile.
My dream home? Definitely one with another dog (or dogs!) to play with and show me the ropes. I’d love an active family who’s down for training, playing, and lots of cuddles when I’m all tuckered out. If you’ve got the patience to raise a pup and the heart to love a goofball like me, I promise to bring the fun, the love, and maybe even some adventure!
