Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Update 07/13/09: Ok, I've asked nicely, but now I'm begging you!! Get me out of this house! They went and brought home 3 more girl dogs. The new dogs took my lap and I'm telling you, FM is gonna be putting dresses on me again. Why do I get no respect?? Please, adopt me and take me out of this! I'm loving and healthy, but I want my very own person.
Update 05/07-09: Hello everyone. I'm just hangin' out here, being lonely. Foster dad and mom has has company for a month. I like them! They hang out with me all day, and he lets me sleep next to him on the couch. He always makes room for me. They left Monday, so I am lonely now. Won't you consider making a spot on your couch and hangin' out with me all day???
Update 02-18-09: Foster mom made me wake up to write you guys! She said I needed to write more often. As you can see from my new picture, I'm just laid back and TRYING to take a nap! See me? I'm fine! The only way I'd be better is if you would give me a furever home and let me sleep on your lap without waking me up to take a picture!
UPDATE: 10-16-08: Tiger here - I'm seeing all these silly dogs dressed for trick or treat on TV. Hey I'll do tricks for you if you give me the treat of taking me home! Fostermom took me to PetSmart and she was looking at those stupid costumes...pluzee get me outta here before she buys one with my name on it!!! Deal? huh? huh???? Love Tiger
UPDATE: 09-05-08: I'm begging you now...please get me out of here!!! I am the only boy dog here. All these girls, sheez!!! You KNOW I don't like girls. They keep trying to dress me up! Help me!! Beggingly,Tiger
UPDATE: 08-09-08: Can you see what is happening to me? Foster mom is making me wear clothes!! How can she expect a he-man like me to wear clothes. Foster dad says get used it, this is what happens when you live in a harem. If you do not have a harem at your house, could I come live at your house? Love Tiger
Update 07/07/08: Hi everyone, it’s Tiger again. Well, the pups are FINALLY settling down some, it took me forever to get them trained! Kids! Go figure. Well, things here are about the same. I went to meet some lady FM wanted me to see, but I wouldn’t let her pick me up, so we went home again. I’m not that kind of guy! I don’t let strange ladies pick me up, see they always want to hug and hold me tight. FM says I’m getting pretty good at being held tight, I just put up with it. I really am a manly dog. I just want single man to be my dad, I really don’t need a mom (psst – don’t tell FM I said that – that’s just between you and me). I just want a man who will let me snuggle with him on the couch, in a chair or in your bed. I'm sending you a new picture to show you what I like to do...snuggle with a MAN. I’m really not high maintenance. At 10 years old, all I want is to love and be loved. Won’t you consider taking me home with you?
Love Tiger
Update 01/23/08: Hi there, it’s me Tiger. Would someone PLEASE get me out of here!!! I am so tired of Lucy, always bouncing, pulling my ears, wanting to play! My goodness she gets up at 6am! Doesn’t she know that me and my FM want to sleep till at least 10am? She has no respect! Enough about her – FM says we have my separation anxiety under control. I tried to tell her, she just wouldn’t listen. Give me a cookie before you go out the door and I understand that you are coming back. I like to ride in the car and go for walks. FM says I probably shouldn’t go home with you if you have young children. I showed her last week that I don’t like to be held tight!! I snapped at a lady cause she didn’t turn me loose when I told her too. ~sigh~ now FM says we have to work on that. Work, work, work that’s all she wants me to do. I just want to lay in your lap or in your bed with you. Won’t you be my valentine? Won’t you take me home before I go nuts???
Love Tiger
Update:
My name is Tiger. My dad is really sick so he gave me, my brother and
my sister to UYR to be sure that someone would love me the rest of my
life. I am a neutered male, and I run the house (or try to). Foster
mom said I had to tell you that I am very domineering (what does that
mean?) and that I want to be the center of attention. I like to lay next
to my people and see how close I can get. If I could, I would crawl
under your skin and share it with you. Foster mom says I have some
seperation anxiety, but we are working on that. I am house broken, although
sometimes I just want to let all the other dogs know that I was there.
Foster mom says she thinks I would play if there weren't so darn many
furkids here. All I really want is a human that I can love and who
will love me and let me lay really, really close. Oh, I almost forgot, I
am almost 10 years young. If you have enough skin for two and would
like to share with me, please fill out an application at
www.unitedyorkierescue.org. If you have questions just write to my foster mom at
yorkylrvr@earthlink.net.
Original Bio 07/09/07: Please meet Tiger. He is 11 years old, and approximately 10 lbs. He was surrendered by his owner, along with his brother and sister, due to his owner's poor health. A Vet examined him today, and indicated he is in very good health. He is due to be neutered next week, and have a dental, as his teeth are not in good condition. Tiger has some bad manners as he was allowed to "rule the roost", in his previous home. He must be adopted by a person who is familiar with dog obedience training, who will ensure that Tiger knows his place in the pack. He will not be adopted to a home with children.
