TIGGA – A0797631
Safe - 2-3-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: www.statenislandhoperescue.org
**SAFE 02/03/16** SECOND CHANCE for sweet TIGGA! This neutered senior chap was brought to the ACC when his former owner stopped having time for him, or stated living somewhere he wasn’t welcome, or whatever. The impact on TIGGA is the same, regardless of surrender reason: this GREAT AVERAGE-RATED boy will be heartlessly KILLED by the very shelter system that is supposed to have rehomed him. TIGGA does have a heart murmur and would benefit from a full exam. A FOSTER is probably the optimal setup for him because the rescue would foot the vet bills, while the foster owner concentrated on loving him. An ADOPTER will also save his life, but that person will need to be able to go the distance with him, vetwise. Please find a FOSTER or ADOPTER to save his life, tonight!
