About Tigger

Tigger is a striking red brindle Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a short coat and a strong presence at about 65 lbs. He comes across as timid at first, especially with new people—meeting him requires a bit of patience and understanding. Once Tigger has time to settle in, his real self comes out: playful, upbeat, and full of personality. He gets along well with other dogs and would appreciate a confident canine friend in the home. Due to his shy streak, Tigger is best suited for families with older children who can approach him gently and respect his need for space in the beginning. With the right encouragement, he bonds closely and shows his loyal, affectionate side. House training is likely, but as with most strays, cannot be guaranteed from the start. Tigger is simply looking for a patient adopter who can give him a safe, loving environment to grow. Start your journey together! Apply now.
