About Tigre

Meet Tigre! This gentle three-year-old Shepherd mix is currently in San Diego, CA, displaying a quiet devotion wrapped in a handsome brown brindle coat with soft white accents. Despite the recent loss of his beloved pet parent, Tigre’s kind spirit remains unshaken. Weighing around 80 pounds, he embodies sweetness, intelligence, and charm, making him a wonderful companion. Tigre thrives on connection and affection, happy to enjoy soft playtime and snuggles with people. His playful side shines, especially when there’s a ball involved, though he takes his time returning it after catching it—one of his many quirky traits. He balances daily walks and gentle play with ample time to relax and unwind. This boy is already house-trained and crate trained, as well as neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. His intelligence stands out in training classes, where he eagerly learns commands like "come," "sit," and "stay," especially when treats or praise are on offer. Tigre loves his walks, Nylabones, and enjoying naps on his back. He’s well-behaved in the car and takes public outings in stride. Although he doesn’t do well with cats, he’s calm and adaptable, settling easily into routines without showing stress when left alone for short periods. As Tigre transitions into a new home, he will need time to acclimate and build trust at his gentle pace. Above all, he deserves a family that reciprocates the tenderness and devotion he offers so freely. Are you ready to open your arms to Tigre and give him the new beginning he’s ready for?
