Jiggy
Jiggy is an American Hairless Terrier! He is an amazing boy that had an owner that spent a lot of time with him making him a wonderful adult companion. Jiggy is 16 pounds, and 100% potty trained. Jiggy found himself homeless when his elderly owner was moved into a convalescent home.
It became clear when he was at the shelter that he was a diabetic. He takes his insulin shots like a champ and is happy to sit still so he can get a treat at the end. We then noticed his eyes were going bad quickly which is also common with diabetes, and we had an eye specialist put in new lenses. He has been doing great with and accepted the lenses, and he can now see again and is beyond happy!
Jiggy is crate trained, dog bed trained, sits in a car like a gentleman, loves to watch TV with you on the couch, but does NOT like to sleep on the bed – he prefers his own. He is ALL about food and treats, so he must be in a home that has good housekeeping of keeping food/garbage out of reach.
He does great with other dogs – not sure about cats. No young children – he is too food obsessed. He is neutered and up to date on shots.
If you are interested in Jiggy, please email Kelly at k9wrinkles@aol.com and she will send you an application. Jiggy’s adoption fee is $150. Please note, Jiggy is in a foster home and not at the MEOW shelter.
Tiramisu – Adopted!
Last summer Tiramisu was rescued in Maui by a kind soul who saw her limping down the street and into a parking lot looking for help. They scooped her up and rushed her to Maui Humane Society. She was checked for a microchip…nothing.
She was then taken to the veterinarian, where x rays confirmed that she had no broken bones, which was great, but it did appear like she had been hit by a car. Her abrasions were cleaned and tended to. She was scheduled for dental and would be ready for adoption soon.
Then on August 8th, Lahaina, was destroyed by a fire that took out the entire city in a day. The next day, and the days and weeks to follow found Maui Humane Society in unprecedented times and overwhelmed with the cries of help. They hit the ground running to help their community’s pets that were now displaced and homeless and scared.
They needed space!
MEOW reached out immediately, offering a stretched-out paw of help. A few weeks later, 8 kitties and 4 dogs landed at SeaTac. MEOW was there with open arms to do their little part in helping friends of Aloha.
Most were adopted immediately, or in the next few weeks. But Tiramisu the sweet old girl that no longer limps, is still waiting for her forever home, loves a good belly rub and loves to be part of the family.
She is a mix of all that is Aloha. She weighs 40 pounds, has short hair. Because of her unusual and striking eye coloring she does struggle with her sight and light. She loves life, a good belly rub and she giggles when she gets a tickle. She is probably about 6 years old.
She is house trained, food motivated and loves to go on a good walk. She has zero prey drive, which means she may be OK with cats. She does OK with other dogs but would rather live with a passive dog or be the only dog in your life. As you can see from her photos, she’s an active pup who would love someone to play with.
