Tigger

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Say hello to happy boy Tigger! Tigger was brought into our care as a fake stray and he is now looking for his forever home . He is around 2 years old and is a Belgian mallinois. Tigger is an extremely bright and active boy, he loves going on long adventures with our volunteers and is a perfect gentleman when out on his walks! He loves to enjoy the sniffs of the world around him and would make an incredible hiking buddy for someone. He is also super affectionate, and likes to lean in to his humans for love and fuss. His favourite scratching place is behind his ears and he will give you puppy dog eyes for some more love if you stop. Being a Belgian mallinois, Tigger has high energy levels and an extremely intelligent brain. His new owners will need to have owned dogs before and knowledge of the breed is required. We are looking for a home for Tigger that would like to partake in some fun sports with him , from agility to scentwork he will be sure to get stuck into it all and it will be a great hobby for keeping his busy brain happy. Tigger has shown lots of positive interest in other dogs and he could potentially live with another resident canine . He could also live with dog savvy children 14+ and cats , depending on intros done at the centre. Tigger is currently awaiting a operation to fix his knee cap which has moved out of place. He will remain at the centre until our vet is happy with progress, he will then move to medical foster with his people to continue his recovery. He be rehomed once he is completely signed off by the vets. Tigger is really struggling in the kennel environment, could your sofa be the perfect place for him to feel at home?

About Tigger

What life with Tigger looks like

Tigger is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cardiff Dogs Home.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Cardiff Dogs 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cardiff Dogs Home 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 Cardiff Dogs Home 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.
