Iggy

IGGY – Lab-Hound Mix / 5 Years / 20kg / M-Neutered

Ok…so maybe this is from a teen girls dating column, but we totally think it applies here.

Is a shy guy attractive?
Do Girls Like Shy Guys? All the Reasons You’re a Real Catch
Things You Should Know. Many girls are totally into shy guys, and are attracted to them for their quiet mystery and thoughtful nature. Girls also like shy guys because they tend to form deeper and more loyal bonds, and getting to know them over long periods is super rewarding.

Like totes. This is our Iggy!

His foster family says that Iggy is the most polite houseguest. He is house-trained, crate-trained, follows routines, no barking, doesn’t get into trouble… We could go on and on. On walks, he’s just as perfect. His leash skills are great, and has no reactivity to other dogs/people.

Iggy’s only “flaw” (If we can even call it that), is that he can be timid around new peeps. Once he’s had a second to check you out, he’s all in. Reassurance is key to help Iggy with his confidence.

Iggy’s ideal future home would be in a quiet neighbourhood. An existing care-free, confident dog pal who can show him the ropes would be best. We suspect that Iggy would be fine with older, respectful kids & cats.

If you think Iggy would make the perfect addition to your family, please check out www.dibsrescue.com for the adoption process and application. His adoption fee is $750. If you are a family with older kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs/).
