Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tigris is a confident, outgoing 5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix, possibly with a touch of Shepherd, weighing 51 lbs. She’s a beautiful brindle girl who arrived at Sammy’s Hope alongside Angelo, and from the moment she stepped in, she made it clear she’s a dog who loves people and thrives on attention.Tigris is the type of dog who instantly makes friends — warm, social, and eager to greet anyone who comes her way. Her steady confidence and affectionate nature make her a favorite among volunteers. On hot days, she’s happiest splashing around in a kiddie pool filled with water, enjoying every moment of cooling off and playing.She is very friendly with Angelo, but she can be selective with other dogs. A meet and greet with any resident dogs is required to ensure a comfortable and compatible match.Tigris is a bright, loving, people focused dog who will flourish in a home that appreciates her confident personality, her playful spirit, and her desire to bond deeply with her humans. She’s ready to bring joy, companionship, and a whole lot of heart to her forever family.If you are interested in meeting Tigris, please complete an Interest Form. An adoption counselor will contact you to schedule an appointment.September 21, 2026, 4:46 pm
