About Tigre

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Tigre, a big, affectionate teddy bear who only wants to love and be loved. He once lived in a homeless encampment with two small dogs and a gentle female Rottweiler, and despite facing hardships—including being attacked by another male dog—Tigre's heart is full of hope and kindness. When his human companion had to leave unexpectedly, Tigre was left searching for a place to call home after being neutered through Desert Paws Sanctuary. Tigre adores people and gets along especially well with female dogs, big or small. Although he may appear tough, beneath the surface he is truly a gentle soul. He has an old injury on one of his legs that healed on its own, leaving it slightly calcified, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life to the fullest and joining in for outdoor adventures. While Tigre loves lounging on the couch and relaxing, he also lights up when he gets to explore the outdoors. He is searching for a loving, stable home where he can finally feel safe, relax, and be a loyal companion. Born December 4th, Tigre is a Sagittarius—full of spirit, energy, and optimism. If you’re searching for a sweet, mellow friend with plenty of love left to give, Tigre might just be your perfect match. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
