My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Riggo was given up to Animal Control because he bit the grandchild who pulled his tail. We do not know if he is getting grouchy being almost ten but no dog should have to put up with a child pulling his tail. He lost his home because of this. He ended up in the Bedford shelter and the Bedford Humane Society heard of his plight and pulled him to go into foster care. Riggo is in foster care with 4 other dogs and gets along well. He is a sweet guy and everyone that has come in contact with him over nine years or so says he is a real sweet guy. Based on this history we will recommend he go to a home without small children who do not know any better. So that would be children under five. He is crate trained and walks well on a leash. He has had a lot of different environments in the last two and a half weeks and considering all that he has gone through after having one owner for his whole life he has adjusted well. We all feel so bad for him having his life interrupted at this stage in his life but we are sure he will find a wonderful home for the rest of his life.
