About Iggy

Iggy is a labrador mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddling. Despite being nearly 60lbs, he’ll crawl right into your lap and stay for as long as you’ll let him. Friendly is an understatement—he adores every person and has never met a dog he wouldn’t try to play with. His energy swings from snuggles to fetch, so he’s looking for an active home that also loves downtime. Iggy’s start in life wasn’t easy; he was rescued after someone heartlessly threw him from a moving car. Since then, he’s been safe at Beagle Freedom Project’s sanctuary, playing with other dogs but holding out hope for a family of his own. He promises loyalty and an endless supply of tail wags and kisses to whoever welcomes him. Out-of-state adoptions are possible, as long as you can travel to Nowata, OK to meet him in person.
