Tiger was part of the litter of four adorable, white, shaggy pups who spent the first several months of their lives in a backyard. They were surrendered to the Richardson Shelter, and that’s where Richardson Humane Society came in. Although the pups were shy and a bit withdrawn, they never showed any signs of aggression to our volunteers or the staff at Pooch Hotel, who fostered the pups, groomed them, and continued work on their socialization with people and other dogs.
Once these four adorable pups were posted on the RHS website, it did not take long for our e-mail to “blow up” over these sweet, neglected puppies! Over 60 inquiries and 30 applications came in via email. More than 20 families came to visit them at their one and only appearance at our Meet The Pets event, and most had wonderful applications. It was hard to select their forever homes from all the families who wanted them.
Tiger, the shyest of the four puppies, went home with a sweet, retired couple, who will give Tiger the quiet home and patience he needs to continue building his confidence. They would like to train him to become a therapy dog someday, but if not, he still will be a beloved family pet.
