Pet of the Week: Tiger

Pet of the Week: Tiger

Tauranga SPCA always has cute animals in need of new homes.

To help them find a loving family - and to break up your Friday with a cute animal pic (because the Internet doesn't have enough), we've started a new online feature "Pet of the Week".

It will include details of one SPCA animal up for adoption each week. Who knows, it may lead you to a new best friend - or "loveable troublemaker".

Tiger

Tiger was picked up by the SPCA in July after he was hit by a car.

This caused nerve damage in his right front leg which left him unable to use it.

He adjusted well to not having use of his leg so had an operation to remove his leg.

An owner came forward but decided he would be no good to train as a hunting dog with only three legs and so signed him over to the SPCA.

Tiger is coping well and doesn't seem to have slowed down.

He's calm, patient and always happy to see people.

He quickly became a favourite with staff and volunteers.

Tauranga SPCA operations manager Margaret Rawiri said: "Please come in and meet him and show him that loyalty and devotion is a two way street!"
