Tigre

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Tigre comes from an animal shelter in the Basque Country and was born on November 12, 2018. In mid-June, he arrived at our animal shelter with his brother (the smaller black one). He is a very cheerful, lively, and gentle dog, accustomed to life with humans and is house-trained according to his previous owner. Tigre loves his people and is a faithful companion. He likes to be near them, is curious and attentive, and enjoys going for walks. On hot days, he is also easily motivated to play in the water. He is looking for a home with people without children, without cats, and without other dogs. Tigre has lived with other dogs before, but whether he gets along with them depends on their compatibility. He has a strong prey drive and is absolutely not compatible with cats. He can easily jump over fences – a securely high-fenced and escape-proof property is therefore a prerequisite in his new home. Tigre is such a wonderful and loving dog who has already experienced difficult situations and wishes for an experienced dog owner. He does not handle every situation well – for example, running children are a problem, as are people in the dark. For more information about Tigre, contact us at the animal shelter.

Tigre kommt aus einem Tierheim im Baskenland und wurde am 12.11.2018 geboren. Mitte Juni kam er mit seinem Bruder (der kleinere schwarze) zu uns ins Tierheim. Er ist ein sehr fröhlicher, lebensfroher und sanfter Hund, kennt das Leben bei Menschen und ist laut Vorbesitzer stubenrein. Tigre liebt seine Menschen und ist ein treuer Begleiter. Er ist gern in ihrer Nähe, ist neugierig und aufmerksam und geht sehr gern spazieren. Bei heißem Wetter lässt er sich auch gern mal zu einem Wasserspiel motivieren. Er sucht ein Zuhause bei Menschen ohne Kinder, ohne Katzen und ohne andere Hunde. Tigre lebte bisher mit anderen Hunden zusammen, aber wie er mit ihnen klarkommen, entscheidet die Sympathie. Er hat einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb und ist absolut nicht verträglich mit Katzen. Dabei springt er mit Leichtigkeit über Zäune – ein sicher hoch eingezäuntes und ausbruchssicheres Grundstück ist daher eine Voraussetzung in seinem neuen Zuhause. Tigre ist so ein absolut toller und lieber Hund, der allerdings auch schon schwierige Situationen erlebt hat und sich einen erfahrenen Hundehalter wünscht. Er kommt nicht mit jeder Situation klar – so sind z.B. rennende Kinder ein Problem, genauso wie Personen im Dunkeln. Weitere Informationen zu Tigre erhalten Sie bei uns im Tierheim.

About Tigre

What life with Tigre looks like

Tigre is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ansbach in Ansbach.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tigre, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tigre?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Ansbach handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tigre on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tigre 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 Tierheim Ansbach whether they will for Tigre, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tigre already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Tigre. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Ansbach, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tigre isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Ansbach about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tigre 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
