Tigger

Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Tigger – Our Handsome Stripey Lurcher! Tigger is a gorgeous 3-year-old Lurcher who is looking for a special home where he can continue to grow in confidence and discover just how lovely life can be. When Tigger first arrived with us, he found the big wide world a rather overwhelming place. Everything was new and a little bit scary, but with time, patience and gentle encouragement, this lovely boy is slowly beginning to come out of his shell. It’s been wonderful watching him gain confidence at his own pace, and we’re sure there is so much more to his personality waiting to shine through. Tigger is starting to enjoy getting out and about for walks, particularly when he has another doggy friend by his side. We think he would really benefit from living with a calm, friendly and confident dog who could help show him the ropes and reassure him that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. At the moment, though, Tigger’s absolute favourite place to be is tucked up underneath the desk in our office, keeping us company while we work! He seems to love simply being near his people, and if you work from home, he could be the perfect four-legged colleague. Don’t expect him to answer your emails, but he’s very good at keeping you company! Tigger needs a quiet, understanding home with patient people who will allow him the time and space he needs to settle in and build his confidence. Another calm, friendly dog would be a real bonus and could help him navigate his new life. He will need an adult-only home while he settles, where there are no little ones to add to the hustle and bustle. Tigger may not be the most confident boy just yet, but watching him blossom is incredibly rewarding. All he needs is someone willing to believe in him, take things at his pace and show him that life can be full of lovely things. Could you be the person to help our handsome stripey boy find his confidence and his forever home?

About Tigger

What life with Tigger looks like

Tigger is a large young adult dog waiting at Durham Dogs & Cats Home in United Kingdom.

A young 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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Durham Dogs & Cats Home 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Durham Dogs & Cats Home whether they will for Tigger, what they require (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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tigger already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Tigger. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Durham Dogs & Cats Home, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tigger isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Durham Dogs & Cats Home about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
