Story
  Allow me to introduce Smith! This precious boy is around 6 months old. We believe he is a rat terrier mix. This little guy, along with 2 others were dumped on a back country road and left for dead. An amazing woman posted them in her neighborhood app and Renee immediately called us after she received the notification. We happily said yes, as the freeze was coming. We wanted them out of the cold.Smith has really opened up since he has been in rescue.  He is a silly boy but mostly just a total sweetheart He is friendly with everyone and everything. He will make the great addition to a wonderful family.Smith is neutered, HW-negative, current on vaccines and preventions, microchipped and comes with a special geo tag. If you feel Smith is your next fur child, then please visit our website to fill out an application!www.TiggerTown.com  ##2292938##
