Adopt Tigger

Male · Adult · 4 years

This affectionate lad is Tigger. He is full of personality and adores people. He loves to say hello to everyone he meets and will happily make friends wherever he goes. Friendly, loving and always up for attention, he’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of all the action. He’s a big, bouncy boy with a playful nature and a real zest for life. One of his favourite things in the world is chasing his toys – he could play for hours! His enthusiasm and boisterous energy mean he will need an active home that can give him plenty of exercise, fun and continued training and guidance. He is strong on the lead so continued lead training will be necessary. A private secure garden will be best for Tigger so he can safely enjoy off lead time playing with all his toys. Tigger was rehomed and unfortunately returned to us as he was too strong for his new owners, so we are looking for an experienced home that have previously had strong large breed dogs. Tigger has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care and is very playful so we feel following a successful meet and greet he could possibly live with another playful dog of similar size and energy levels.

About Tigger

What life with Tigger looks like

Tigger is a large adult dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) in Manchester.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tigger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tigger?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tigger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tigger if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tigger 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 Tigger 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 Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tigger 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 (EN). 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.
