Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced Tiger, a gentle and affectionate two-year-old dog who is currently looking for his forever home. Weighing in at 18 pounds, Tiger has captured the hearts of the team at Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. with his sweet and shy demeanor. They aren't sure what his breed mix is, but are hoping Tiger's future family will find out. "Maybe his future family will do a dna test and share the results with us!"

According to Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., "Tiger is shy but sweet! He is very attentive and wants nothing more than to be near his people but he isn't ready for too much attention yet. He just wants to be your shadow!" This shows just how devoted Tiger can be to his future family, even if it takes him a little time to come out of his shell.

Tiger is described as being fully housebroken and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to any home. "He loves going on walks and is great in the car," the rescue organization notes. These traits make Tiger the perfect companion for someone who enjoys outdoor activities and travel.

The rescue further explains that Tiger sees his crate as a safe place, indicating that he finds comfort and security there. This is an important consideration for potential adopters who can provide Tiger with the patience he needs. "His ideal home would be with pawrents who are willing to give him the time and patience needed to come out of his shell and blossom into a happy pup! He would do well with another dog in the house that can teach him how to be a confident doggy," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc.

Tiger is a loving and timid dog who thrives in the company of other pets and would benefit from a family that understands his need for patience and gentle encouragement. "He would do well with another dog in the house that can teach him how to be a confident doggy," explains the animal rescue.

Tiger is currently residing on Martha's Vineyard, and Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. notes that his adopter must be willing to take the walk-on ferry over to the island if not currently residing there. If you think you can provide Tiger with the loving home he deserves, consider filling out an application so you can bring this very special pup home.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. requires that anyone interested in adopting must submit an application to them. As a foster-based rescue based in Massachusetts, they don’t have a shelter location, and visits with dogs are by appointment only. Their dogs reside in private homes or kennels until adoption.
