Hi, I’m Tigger—your future partner in crime (the legal kind, I promise).

Let me guess—you’re the kind of human who likes long walks, meaningful conversations, a bit of sass, and a whole lot of smarts in a four-legged package. Well, buckle up. I’ve been waiting for you.

I’m an Aussie-Husky mix, which basically means I’m a genius wrapped in floof. I’m about 3 years old, handsome as heck (I mean, come on, have you seen my black tri coat?), I am looking for my forever home.

So, here’s the deal:

I’m a thinker, a doer, a “what’s behind that door?” kind of dog. I like to be where the action is. Close the door on me and I’ll let you know I’m not thrilled about it. But give me structure, purpose, freedom, and a little snacky-snack trail to follow, and I’m all in.

I’m crate-trained-ish—meaning I’ll settle in my crate when life is chill and the day has been full of sniffs, training, and a bit of adventure. But please don’t shove me in a box and expect me to thrive. I’m a living, breathing companion—not a coffee table.

Let’s talk walks: I love walks. I especially love sniffy walks, food-finding walks, and long-line decompression hikes where I can feel the breeze and pretend I’m a wilderness explorer. I also do really well in urban areas (so many smells, so little time).

Now, I won’t lie—I’m not the easiest roommate. I’ve got opinions about sharing my stuff with other dogs, and while I can hang with dogs socially, I’d rather be your one and only at home. No kids either, please. I like a calm vibe and grown-up energy.

But if you’re the right human—someone who’s dog-savvy, appreciates a clever canine who thrives on cooperation, and doesn’t need a Velcro dog—I will be your ride-or-die. I’m not here to be dominated or micromanaged. I’m looking for a partner. A teammate. A person who sees me for who I am and says, “Yep, I get you.”

In return? You get all of me. My loyalty. My humor. My big heart. And yeah, maybe a few hilarious tantrums when you close a door without my approval. Fair’s fair.

I’m neutered, up-to-date on shots, house-trained, and currently living in Richmond Virginia while I wait for you. If you’re not nearby I promise I'm worth the drive to meet.

Think we could be something special? Please fill out an adoption application at aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org or shoot us an email - info@aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org and let’s make it official.

Love,

Tigger (a dog, a vibe, a lifestyle)
