TIGGER has lived a life of international adventure. Not all of it was good. Some of it was downright terrifying and he barely escaped with his life. But now he's back and ready to find his forever home.
TIGGER and his friend MAXWELL were originally adopted in CT by a man who lived in Stratford. In 2020 they moved to Africa, but life there didn't turn out as they had hoped. The move was bad for TIGGER and MAX, and then tragically, their dad was killed in a motorcycle accident in August 2023, which left the boys stranded in Kenya where they had little to no hope of getting out alive.
They spent several months at the KSPCA Mombosa while their CT rescue, Zen Dog CT worked frantically to raise the $11,000 needed to bring them home to CT. (We knew TIGGER & MAX before they moved to Africa and helped our friends at Zen Dog bring them back, so we are dedicated to helping both dogs find their forever homes.)
TIGGER & MAX flew back to the US in March 2024 and have spent the past months decompressing from their ordeal and reconnecting with life in the US. While they live together in a foster home in Milford, CT, they are not looking to be adopted together.
TIGGER is 10 years old. He loves to go for leisurely walks and play with his stuffed donut, but other than that he's a couch potato and lap dog.
TIGGER would be fine with another friendly, laid back dog, but frankly, he'd be really happy as a single dog in a home where his human dotes on him. He is good with cats and currently lives with one very playful cat. No small children please.
The adoption donation for TIGGER is $250.00. He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, has been dewormed and microchipped. He is also on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

P/S: TIGGER & MAXWELL have their own Facebook page Maxwell and Tigger: Back in the USA where you can learn a lot more about them.
