Joan adopted a dog from an
akita shelter although it's an unknown mixed breed. He's named
Tigger - which fits well with his tiger stripes. He's 7 months old and heading off tomorrow to dog academy training for 2-4 weeks. His long torso and curved large ears remind me of a corgi. He was originally rescued with other puppies from a dumpster. His new digs are quite an upgrade. He plays an excellent game of fetch, loves
squeaky toys and is very affectionate.
