Tiggy – Courtesy Post

My name is Tiggy! I am such a well-behaved girl!  I am also a high energy, sporting breed. However, I am great at entertaining myself and burning off my energy. I just need a large backyard with plenty of trees for shade and squirrel watching! 

Don’t let my age fool you; English Setters don’t slow down until they are at least 10 years old and we tend to live long lives. I do need a tall, secure fence, at least 6 feet tall, as English Setters have a very high prey drive. I was bred to be a bird dog, so I really prefer to spend most of my day in the backyard, so a dog door would be great!  A human who is home much of the time to make sure I come inside and rest, especially when it is hot outside is a must. In the evenings I love to cuddle up with my human while they watch TV. 

I do okay in a crate for short periods, but I really don’t need to be crated; I am a good girl inside the house. I don’t chew, I don’t jump on people, and I am pretty happy; my tail wags constantly.  I would love an adopter who doesn’t mind my high energy and prey drive.  As long as you have an interesting yard with room to run and plenty of shade, I pretty much entertain myself!  Also, I am great in the car and would love to join you anywhere you go!
I live with 2 other dogs in my foster home; I mostly ignore them and am respectful of their place in the pet hierarchy.  I also live with 2 teenagers.  Please submit an application to www.codysfriendsrescue.org
