Hello there, potential forever family! My name is Tiger, and I'm a charming 4-year-old, 55-pound Pit Mix with a heart as big as my wagging tail. Despite facing life with just three legs, I've mastered the art of resilience and exude a spirit that's nothing short of inspiring. Yes, you heard it right! I'm a feline-friendly pup, ready to share my space with our whiskered friends. I'm a social butterfly and get along famously with my canine pals also. Do I like kids? You bet! I love the energy and playfulness that kids bring, making me a fantastic family companion. Despite my physical difference, I'm an active and playful pup, always up for a game of fetch or a nice walk in the park. I'm not just a dog; I'm your potential best friend. My heart is full of love, and I'm ready to shower it on my forever family. I'm known for my loyalty and devotion, and my playful nature will keep you entertained and smiling. My missing leg doesn't slow me down one bit. I've adapted well and am always ready for adventures and new experiences. If anything, my unique feature adds to my charm! I'm looking for a loving family who will appreciate my zest for life and give me the love and care I deserve. A home with or without other pets and kids would suit me just fine. I'm not picky; I just want a family to call my own. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a special pup like me, please apply at ITVrescue.org. I can't wait to meet my forever family and create a lifetime of memories together! Let's embark on this beautiful journey called life together. I promise, with me by your side, every day will be filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of tail wags!
All of our dogs are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and treated if necessary.

Sorry, this one is just too big for me. I prefer to have a bit smaller companion, but I do think this one is cute.
