About Tiger

Tiger is about a year and a half old, weighing in at 60 pounds, with a striking brindle, black, and cream coat. Saved from a local shelter's euthanasia list, he’s still full of puppy energy and enthusiasm. Tiger thrives on activity—long games of fetch, fast runs, and play sessions with other dogs are his favorite. He’ll bring a ball right back to keep the fun going. This guy likely lived in a home before; he shows thoughtful manners, like being gentle when taking treats, and he doesn't mind people near his food. Tiger craves attention and can be a bit "mouthy" in play, gently nicking a hand like many young, exuberant pups. With regular exercise and someone who gives him direction, this is an easy fix. After burning off steam outdoors, he turns into a mellow, affectionate companion. Tiger is food-motivated and quickly empties his bowl—he’s probably missed some meals before. He’s good in his kennel at night and is already house trained. Tiger gets along well with other dogs and is suitable for homes with children. Powered by his zest for life, he’s eager for stability and care. Every Sagittarius loves adventure, and Tiger fits the bill with his boundless spirit. Ready to fall in love?
