Adopt Tiggy

American Bully · Female · Adult · 5 years

Tiggy is a 6-year-old American Bully who found her way to us at the animal shelter after a seizure. She was previously used for breeding but can now finally look for a life where she can just be a regular dog. We know Tiggy as an incredibly soft and affectionate lady. She enjoys every moment of attention she gets and blossoms in the company of people. Snuggles, closeness, and peace are truly important to her. On walks, Tiggy is a model citizen: she walks nicely on a leash, doesn't pull, and reacts calmly to other dogs, cyclists, and stimuli around her. Additionally, she loves to play and is a nice, balanced dog to have at home. For Tiggy, we are searching for a home where she can finally enjoy the warmth and love she deserves. A place where she can come home, find peace, and become part of the family.

Tiggy is een Amerikaanse Bully van 6 jaar oud die bij ons in het asiel terechtkwam na een inbeslagname. Ze werd in het verleden gebruikt voor kweek, maar mag nu eindelijk op zoek naar een leven waarin ze gewoon hond kan zijn. Wij leren Tiggy kennen als een ontzettend zachte en aanhankelijke dame. Ze geniet van elk moment aandacht dat ze krijgt en bloeit helemaal open in het gezelschap van mensen. Knuffels, nabijheid en rust zijn voor haar echt belangrijk. Op wandeling doet Tiggy het voorbeeldig: ze loopt mooi mee aan de lijn, trekt niet en reageert rustig op andere honden, fietsers en prikkels rondom haar. Daarnaast speelt ze ook graag en is ze een fijne, evenwichtige hond om in huis te hebben. Voor Tiggy zoeken we een thuis waar ze eindelijk kan genieten van de warmte en liefde die ze verdient. Een plek waar ze mag thuiskomen, tot rust kan komen en deel mag uitmaken van het gezin. Geef Tiggy de kans op een nieuw begin

About Tiggy

What life with Tiggy looks like

Tiggy is a medium-sized adult american bully dog waiting at Dierenbescherming Mechelen in Mechelen.

An 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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tiggy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tiggy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenbescherming Mechelen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tiggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tiggy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenbescherming Mechelen 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 Tiggy 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 Tiggy 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 Dierenbescherming Mechelen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tiggy 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 (NL). 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.
