Tiffany

This is a shameless plug for a home for Tiffany. Tiffany is a blond girl who likes long walks on the beach and the occasional steak dinner. She is good with children. She does not like cats. She enjoys rawhide bones. Here's a photo of her:

I will personally fly her to America and deliver her to your doorstep if you want her.

Poor Tiffy is only about four years old, and she is onto her sixth home now. Her first owner was abusive. He kept her locked up in an un-air-conditioned unventilated shed during the heat of summer (which is miserable in Okinawa. He only fed her sporadically. Sometimes he would smack her when he gave her food.

The neighbors noticed the abuse and took Tiffy in, but they had four small children in military base housing, and Tiffany was just too much dog for too small of a space.


So then Tiffany moved in with me. I was a foster parent for her, in charge of finding her another home.

She got along great with Peter.


She got along great with Rambo.

She did not get along great with cats. When my cat moved to Oki, Tiffany had to find a new foster family. Unfortunately in Okinawa there are a lot more pets looking for homes than there are homes looking for pets. Potential dog owners are typically in the market for a puppy, not a three year old dog. We were excited because after a few months, Tiffy's foster family was talking about adopting her.

Then they moved to a different apartment that did not allow pets. Around the same time, Tiffany "escaped." She was caught by animal control and spent most of the summer at the kennel, waiting for me to reclaim her.

But I still have a cat. And Tiffany still does not like cats (as we proved when she tried to eat my cat). Now Tiffy is living in an animal shelter and awaiting another foster home. We are hopeful she will have someplace new to live next week. But a new foster home is not a permanent home, and the poor dog needs a place to call home. So if you know of anyone looking for a dog, recommend Tiffany!
