Tiger

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Tiger Tiger, Mixed Breed Staff · Male. Born June 5, 2017. Arrived at the shelter December 7, 2019. Origin: Abandoned. Weight: 39.85 kg. Living arrangement: House or apartment with yard. Child-friendly: No. Dog-friendly: To be tested. Cat-friendly: To be tested. Behavioral assessment: 1/4. Tiger, a magnificent, first-class Staffordshire Terrier, is about to celebrate his 7th birthday. Behind his imposing appearance lies a touching story and a heart yearning for love. Tiger came to us five years ago after being abandoned—a difficult ordeal that left its mark on his life. He was described to us as a very gentle dog, yet also somewhat stubborn. We quickly discovered that Tiger had lived in challenging conditions: he’d hardly ever been taken outside and spent most of his time alone in a yard, isolated. The early years of Tiger’s life have left their mark. He developed some trauma that makes him reactive toward bicycles and quads. Tiger can also be wary of people he doesn’t know. However, don’t let these behaviors scare you off. Tiger simply needs time to learn how to trust. Once Tiger feels safe and confident, he reveals his true nature. He’s an incredibly playful and affectionate companion. His cuddles may be a bit rough—typical of his breed—but they’re always full of sincerity and love. Tiger has a huge heart and is looking for a family willing to accept him just as he is, with all his strengths and weaknesses. Adopting Tiger means giving a second chance to a dog who hasn’t had an easy life. It means letting him experience the warmth of a loving home and the joy of finally feeling safe. If you have experience with dogs and are ready to give him the time and love he needs, Tiger will be a loyal and devoted companion. Come meet Tiger and let his story touch your heart. Together, you can write a new chapter filled with play, cuddles, and shared happiness. Tiger is eagerly waiting for you, ready to give you all the love he’s kept deep within his heart. Adopt Tiger and turn his life into an adventure full of tenderness and joy. Tiger is a Category 1 dog; the corresponding administrative procedures will need to be completed. Mandatory pre-screening required. Born June 5, 2017. Arrived at the shelter December 7, 2019. Origin: Abandoned. Weight: 39.85 kg. Living arrangement: House or apartment with yard.

About Tiger

What life with Tiger looks like

Tiger is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lorraine Amance in Amance.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tiger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tiger?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Lorraine Amance handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tiger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tiger if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Lorraine Amance will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tiger already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tiger isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Lorraine Amance early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tiger and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
