Introducing Tigger the Mature & Sweet Dachshund/Terrier Mix – B101.7’s Pet of the Week

This B101.7 Pet of the Week, with the Humane Society of West Alabama, features a Dachshund/Terrier mix.

Introducing Tigger! He's 8 to 9 years-old, with a long body and face/ears as seen with a Doxie. But, he's a little taller with longer legs, which HSWA says are from a Terrier. This small dog weighing only 17 pounds, has a smooth and golden brown coat.

Tigger was found as a stray out in the country running along a busy highway where he was about to be hit by cars. When the good Samaritans who found him rode around trying to find his home, no one claimed him. Poor fellow! He was full of worms and malnourished. It seemed that he had been out on his own for a while. HSWA thinks he was probably dumped.

Tigger is a very loving, sweet dog! He loves jumping in laps and licking faces. He should be fine with children ages 10 and up. He is good around other dogs, although he is crated when left home alone. He would be fine in an apartment as long as he has daily walks. He will require a fenced yard if outside off the leash, but he is definitely a primarily inside dog.

Tigger is up to date on his vet care, neutered, and is heartworm negative. He is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Tigger is just a darling, mature dog looking for a forever home! Little dogs like Tigger can easily live to 14 to 16 years old, so he hopefully has many more years ahead of him! Tigger is currently in foster care. If you are interested in giving Tigger the forever home he wants and deserves, visit the Humane Society of West Alabama at www.humanesocietyofwa.org or call (205)-554-0011.
