Introducing Tigger!Some dogs make an impression the moment you meet them. Tigger is one of them. This striking blue-eyed boy is a big, tall, gentle soul with an exceptionally kind heart. While he can be a little shy with people at first, earning his trust is a truly special experience. When Tigger quietly touches your hand with his nose or gives you the softest little kisses, it feels like you've just won the lottery.Tigger has some depth perception challenges, so he can occasionally misjudge movement or startle if someone reaches quickly toward his face/head. A calm approach and a gentle touch -- starting at his shoulders rather than his head -- help him feel comfortable. He doesn't react aggressively when startled; he simply needs a little understanding and patience.Despite his size, Tigger is easy to walk. He has lovely leash manners, responds well to gentle voice cues, enjoys car rides, and especially loves exploring quiet wooded trails.If there's one thing Tigger loves most, though, it's other dogs. He is a true pack dog and would thrive in a home with a canine companion. He has several best friends here at HumaneCNY and lights up when another dog joins him for a walk or playtime. One of the sweetest things we've seen was the incredible gentleness he showed toward a three-month-old puppy, carefully adjusting his play to match the youngster. Tigger isn't particularly interested in treats (although we're convinced his favorite snack is still waiting to be discovered), but he is motivated by companionship, kindness, and the comfort of having another dog by his side.If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion with a heart as beautiful as his crystal-blue eyes -- and you have a friendly dog who's yearning for a canine BFF -- Tigger may be exactly who you've both been waiting for.
