Plenty of Pet

Tiger is a 4four-year-old pitbull mix who would love to have his own person to snuggle with.

Tiger weighs about 70 pounds and is an active and happy dog who loves to play. He enjoys walks and does well on leash. He’s house trained and not destructive if left alone for a while, but he will steal food if it’s left within his reach and no one is watching. Tiger can’t be crated, as it causes him a lot of anxiety.

He requires a grain-free, chicken-free diet.

Tiger is neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. He comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. His adoption fee is $350.

For more information on adopting Tiger, visit Coastal K9 Rescue Society’s website or Facebook page.
