Tigger Needs a Special Person

Tigger is a very special girl in need of a very special home. Tigger was brought into the Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro, New Jersey, when her owner moved.

The staff at the shelter has unfortunately discovered that Tigger has some behavioral issues, and being a pit bull, that reduces her chances of adoption to almost zero.

Tigger tends to be nervous about being handled and suspicious of strangers. These are strong clues that she was not treated very well in her previous life. When she warms up to you, she is sweet and affectionate.

She needs an experienced owner to provide firm, consistent leadership. An adult-only home without other pets would probably be best for Tigger. Professional training is also recommended. If her special person can't be found SOON, Tigger's chances of making it out of the shelter alive are slim to none.

If you think you might be that special someone Tigger is looking for, please contact the Bergen County Animal Shelter immediately! If you have contacts with a Pit Bull rescue, please forward Tigger's information to them.

Please Spread the Word and Help Sadie Find a Home

It was her eyes that got me...

Sadie
needs a little extra love and patience. Do you have room in your heart and home for Sadie?

Sadie has a sad story...she really deserves a new home. Please stop by Houndsgood, and read Sadie's story.

Sadie is located at Heard County Animal Control, located in Franklin, Georgia.

Heard County Animal Control Center
11818 Ga Hwy 100
Franklin, GA 30217
Phone: 706-675-3570

***UPDATE 2/20***
Chris at Houndsgood has posted an update on Sadie.

The bad news is that she is still waiting for someone special to come save her and her time is running out.

The good news is that her supposed "dog aggression" issue might not be as serious as previously thought. She is currently housed with a canine roommate, and they get along just fine.

Heard County Animal Control
DOES do out-of-state adoptions, so even if you are not located in Georgia, you can adopt Sadie!

If you can help Sadie, please contact:
