Contact johnmtrimbleiii@gmail.com for more information or to adopt the pet.Meet Tigger: Your Loyal Guardian, Adventure Buddy and Living Legend If you’re looking for a dog with heart, heroics and a bit of hilarious chaos woven in—Tigger might just be your guy.Tigger is a nearly 5-year-old, 110-pound Dutch Shepherd mix, built like a tank and powered by pure devotion. We’re heartbroken to be rehoming him due to an international move to Portugal, where his size makes flying impossible. He deserves a home where he can keep thriving, adventuring and protecting the people he loves.The Tigger Experience: What Makes Him Incredible• A Loyalist Through and Through: Tigger is the definition of “ride-or-die.” Once he bonds with you, he is all in—protective, affectionate on his own terms and happiest when he feels his people are safe.• Courage of a Warrior: This is a dog who has literally treed a bear and taken on both a chainsaw and a weed-wacker (don’t ask—he was defending us from the Evil Noisy MachinesTM). His bravery is unmatched, and he takes his guardian role very seriously.• Born for Action: Energetic and athletic, Tigger loves exploring, running, hiking and anything that gets him moving. He isn’t the best on-leash yet (think: eager freight train with enthusiasm), but with structure and consistency, he can improve.• A Goofy, Loving Soul Underneath the Grit: For all his intensity, Tigger is full of heart. He’s expressive, smart and deeply connected to his people once he trusts them.Challenges & Honest Notes (Because the Right Home Matters)• Not a Fan of Small Dogs: He got along great with larger dogs, but hated our corgi. Big-dog friends = yes. Small, bossy dogs = hard no.• Food Guarding Issues: Tigger has some food protection tendencies. He needs a home familiar with managing resource-guarding or willing to work with a trainer.• Needs Leash Work & Strong Handling: At 110 pounds of muscle and motivation, he needs a handler who is confident, consistent, and physically capable.Tigger’s Dream HomeTigger will thrive with: Someone experienced with working breeds A home with no small dogs (large dogs considered case-by-case) Adults or older teens in a calm but active environment A fenced yard or access to land where he can stretch his legs Someone who wants a fearless protector and loyal companion—not just a pet. He is NOT a couch-potato starter dog. He is, however, the kind of dog who will watch over you, adventure with you, and stick by your side with unwavering devotion.Contact me today at johnmtrimbleiii@gmail.com to meet or learn more about Tigger.<br/><br/>All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.
