Tiger came to us from another shelter that was closing. He is looking for a wonderful forever home!
Foster Update: Tiger continues to make improvements on a daily basis. He has become much more tolerant of strange noises and no longer is afraid of them. He listens very well once he has learned a command. He knows sit, come, in your bed, and lay down. He is a bit of a prince and loves to lay on the softest of surfaces. I laid out a plush blanket for him on my bed and he will only lay on that. He is a very loving dog who gets excited about the smallest of things. He keeps me smiling! He is a great walker and never pulls on the leash. After a while of training he can even be let off the leash in out special field so he can run around and get rid of his energy. As a lab he is extremely loving a loyal, and as a plot hound he is a little stubborn and would do best with someone who isn’t afraid to be the pack leader. He takes comfort in being “second in command”. He deserve the most loving of homes and will be more than happy to return the love. This dog loves his chew toys and has figured out what is good to chew on and what is not. He is a very smart dog that needs someone to let him know when he is doing the right thing. Anyone would be lucky to have Tiger as their companion.
Foster Update: Tiger has a cool color pattern of dark brown and an amber brindle. He is the perfect mix of Plott hound and Lab. He has floppy ears, a long skinny body, and a sweet face with dark amber eyes. Around the house Tiger is a very laid back dog. When he is outside he loves to run and play with his favorite toy, a plastic stick squeaky toy. He also loves to be chased by other dogs. Tiger needs a little bit of time to adapt to his new surroundings. But with plenty of walks and a little bit of treats Tiger will be your best friend! He is very sweet and loves to be pet. He is a little skittish at first but he loves people and will warm up very quickly. While loud noises still scare him a little he is a more comfortable dog who is taking control of his fears. He has found a new love for toys and has even discovered his love for treats. He is a visibly happier dog who wants nothing more than to love and be loved.
Tiger eats in the morning and at night. He does not eat right away, but will finish it when he feels like eating. He is given dry food mixed with wet food. He is currently living in an apartment which he does very well in. He needs plenty of exercise if he is going to live in an apartment (I take him to the dog park a few times a week) but he would do well in any type of home. He's very well socialized with cats as well as other dogs, loves running outside and is allowed off the leash when at a certain field. He is very interactive and is discovering fetch! He walks very well on a leash but needs a patient trainer. He knows “sit” and “in your bed” but is confused when introduced to new commands. A Little work and patience will help him learn new commands.
*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
