Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue.  Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website.  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 Machines™). 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. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information. Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Story
Tigger was dumped as a 6 month old pup outside of brother wolf. He’s a protective boy and barks at the bears that come near our home. He’s fearless. He loves to hike and loves snuggle time. He’s just a big old doofus. He gets along with other dogs but has never had experience with cats.

Story
Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 11, 2025, 9:36 pm

Story
Holly is wondering where her forever family is. She's a sweet puppy going on around 5 months old. We think that Holly is a Dutch Shepherd mix or maybe a Cattle dog mix. Holly would love an active family with a fenced in backyard that would give her the appropriate amount of exercise and training. She's not terribly hyper, but puppies need exercise. And just look at those ears! Currently Holly weighs 25lbs and is just the cutest girl ever! If you think Holly might be a good fit for your family, then please fill out the adoption application on our website https://www.pawsitiveimpactncdogrescue.org/adopt ##1883952##
