The wonderful thing about Tiggys
Is Tiggys are wonderful things!
Tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
Their bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggys
Is I'm the only one!
Tiggys are cuddly fellows
Tiggys are awfully sweet
Everyone el-us is jealous
That's why I repeat and repeat
The wonderful thing about Tiggys
Is Tiggys are marvelous chaps
They're loaded with vim and vigor
They love to leap in your laps!
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy
Fun fun fun fun fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggys
Is I'm the only one
I’m the only one!
Hi I’m the ONE and ONLY Tiggy! My foster dad calls me Tiggy-Smalls and my foster mom nicknamed me Sergeant Speckles because my fur is so beautiful and unique.
I originally came from a breeder. My mom is a Dachshund and my dad is a Chihuahua. Choxie, German Taco, Mexican Hot Dog, WeenieHuahua, whatever you want to call me, I’m a true Chiweenie with the Papers to prove it!!!
I am quirky and funny. I have a BIG personality and a great smile! When I’m happy—which is almost always--my whole body wags. The kids in my foster family hold me and snuggle in like I’m their most favorite stuffed animal. I have big spots and the most adorable speckly freckly fur! I love to explore the yard and take walks. I am perfect on a leash! I’m happy to snuggle in on your lap but I will romp around with puppy friends too. I don’t bark as much as other Doxies or Chihuahuas but I am an excellent doorbell---in case you don’t hear it. Belly rubs are the very best thing ever, but ear scratches are also the best! I really just love absolutely everything about my People and life! I don’t have all the energy of a 3 month old pup… I won’t demand 3 walks a day or chew all your shoes, but I do like to play and sniff around outside like every hound dog. I’ll curl up at the foot of your bed at night or snuggle in with my brother, Pooh Bear, in our doggie bed. You may catch us “grooming” each other. Our foster mom thinks this is the cutest thing but we’re just making sure our big floppy ears are clean and right side out.
I am a good car rider and like to go on adventures like the trip Pooh and I recently took to South Dakota. We went on long nature hikes and even stayed in an RV park where we met so many people and animals! Our foster parents said we were so well behaved and the people, dogs, and cats all loved us.
I’m really looking forward to the future. My brother and I are handsome and healthy young men with so many more adventures to have and a million more cuddles to give. The ASPCA says we have most of our lives ahead of us and our foster mom says we’ve overcome the chewing and training issues puppies have. I guess you could say we are the perfect age for adoption!
You may be wondering where we’ve been. No dog comes into a rescue with a happy story but ours isn’t as tragic as many. Our first People really loved us and they took great care of us. I was purchased from a pet store as a puppy. My People found my brother and littermate, Pooh, and loved him so much that they wanted another and contacted my breeder to track me down. They drove for hours to bring me home. Pooh and I were so happy to be reunited after all those months, now we are inseparable. But over the last few years, a lot of people got really sick and our People got sick too. Unfortunately, our daddy passed away and our mommy was very sick and couldn’t take care of us the way we had been. She was heartbroken to give us up and we were heartbroken to leave our home.
We have had a life full of ups and downs but most of our years have been happy. Our foster mom is surprised every day that we haven’t been adopted yet because we’ve had such a healthy life, have been so well behaved, and are extremely adorable. We have big ears, small heads; long bodies and short legs. And if our big round eyes and happy wagging tails don’t melt your heart, nothing will.
If you’re interested in meeting me, check out my sweet brother Pooh! We started our lives together and have gone through our long journey side-by-side and paw-in-paw. We’re looking for a forever-family with enough love for both of us!
If you have questions about us, fill out an adoption application. It won’t take long and Pooh and I are totally worth the time! The Rescue Coordinator will forward your information to our foster parents and they will email you ASAP. They can answer all your questions and schedule a play date!
Together, our adoption fee is $500 (ask about our payment plan, military and senior discounts!)
The adoption process will take about 2 weeks from the time you submit the application until our Gotcha Day, which I’m told will be one of the very best days of our lives!
Our foster family has had 3 Dachshund mixes and says we have been the best breed they’ve had by far and recommends that everyone
GET A LOOOONG LITTLE DOGGIE!!!
