About Tigger

Tigger, also known as Tiggeroni, has a knack for springing onto just about anything — the sofa, beds, even trampolines if you let him. He’s built for a busy household or anyone looking to add some movement to their days. Tigger keeps things lively, reminding you about household details like putting the toilet lid down and motivating you to head out for walks, maybe even twice a day. If you need a buddy for cuddles, comic relief, or just to spoil a bit, he checks every box. Crate trained and house trained, with a proper greeting every time you walk through the door, he’s as mannerly as he is energetic. Tigger knows how to sit, never soils his indoor spaces, and will do just about anything for a treat. He gets along with most dogs he meets—especially big, bouncy types—but always appreciates a formal introduction if you already have pets. For kids, he’s best with older ones (10+), just to match his style and energy. Tigger comes neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and is ready to find his new home in Phoenix, AZ. He’s a real Gemini: equal parts thoughtful and playful, with a dash of unpredictable fun. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
