Tiger, a three-legged male staffy-cross, is still waiting for someone to adopt him after spending seven-months at the Tauranga SPCA shelter.
Tauranga SPCA operations manager Margaret Rawiri said Tiger, who was the longest serving animal in the shelter, had become a firm favourite with staff and volunteers.
"But Tiger deserves the chance to find a new forever home with a loving family," she said.
Mrs Rawiri said Tiger came into the shelter in July last year after being hit by a car. His front leg had to be amputated because of nerve damage which could not be repaired.
