About Tiger

Your new best friend is just one click away. Tiger is a 15-month-old, 60-pound mixed-breed dog who narrowly escaped euthanasia at a crowded local shelter. He is bursting with puppy energy and absolutely needs time outside for exercise—otherwise, he becomes a whirlwind of excitement! Tiger adores running and chasing other dogs, and his passion for fetch is endless; he'll enthusiastically retrieve a ball again and again, hinting that he was once someone's beloved pet. Despite having been found as a stray, Tiger is eager to bond and craves attention. He can be mouthy at times, gently taking your hand in his mouth when playing, but this is simply a sign of his playful puppy nature and can be easily redirected. When given the opportunity to run and play, he relaxes and shows his affectionate side, loving every moment of petting and playtime. Food is another favorite; Tiger cleans his bowl quickly, likely a sign he once went hungry, but he takes treats gently and doesn't mind being petted while he eats. He is house trained, does well in a kennel overnight, and is particularly gentle with treats. Being a Sagittarius, Tiger’s personality shines with energy and optimism—traits typical of his sun sign! Tiger is ready for a loving home where he can get plenty of exercise, affection, and the fresh start he deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
