Meet the delightful Ziggy! 🌟 At 6 years old and weighing in at 32 lbs, Ziggy is an extraordinary Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie mix who has a sprinkle of German Shepherd, Beagle, and Lab in her DNA cookie! 🍪 Ziggy is not just a pet; she’s a passionate companion who brings warmth and joy to anyone lucky enough to be her friend. This smart soul is devoted to her humans and is completely focused on ensuring she’s the best buddy you could ever imagine. Prepare yourself for a lifetime of loyalty, snuggles, and couch cuddles! 🥰 When new guests arrive, Ziggy is the perfect hostess! She’ll announce her presence with a bark or two, only to transform into a charming friend at the speed of light. A warm sniff and a friendly hello, and you’ll find that she’s leading you right to her favorite scratch spot—her chest, of course—where she loves to receive affection. Before you know it, she’ll be cozying up beside you, ready to make lifetime memories together. What makes Ziggy so lovable? - She’s incredibly smart and trainable! Ziggy knows tricks and has excellent recall when indoors. - A true couch potato at heart, she adores the company and loves cuddling anywhere, be it the couch or snuggled up in bed! 🥴 - Car rides? Count her in! Ziggy delights in both short jaunts and grand adventure trips—especially exploring the glorious North Shore! 🚗💨 - She's known for her dramatic “old man” sighs that could win awards ⭐ and often shares her love of chew bones and her cherished stuffed frog—no destruction allowed in Ziggy’s world! She’s a well-rounded pup with the perk of being geo-trained with a hidden fence, allowing her the freedom to roam safely. Though she can be comfortable on her own for up to 6 hours, Ziggy does thrive with company! Adopted during the COVID times, Ziggy had adult supervision all day long, so if you’re an adult looking to open your home, Ziggy would flourish in a space where she’s the only dog. Though she adores companionship, she can be reactive to other dogs—especially during walks. With some positive training, she can learn to focus better (it’s all about practice and patience!), but group doggy outings can be a tussle! 🐶 With her herding instincts, Ziggy is better suited to a home without young children, as she might chase or nip those tiny ankles. A home filled with loving adults or older, dog-savvy kids along with a lovely fenced yard would be just her style! 🏡🌳 While she hasn't been exposed to cats, it’s best to keep them in mind while looking for a match. Ziggy is overflowing with love and loyalty, just waiting to be somebody’s whole world! If you can offer her dedicated time and a bit of structure—this cuddler will turn into an incredible, devoted companion who will curl up beside you, sigh contentedly, and fill your days with unwavering joy. If you’re ready to be the one to open your heart and home to Ziggy, remember—you must apply through the Buddy App! Show her that the bond you share can be as special as the love she longs to give. 💖
