Ziggy always finds his way into your lap for a hug before dashing outside to play a round of fetch. He’s focused on one thing: soaking up as much love as possible. He’s about a year old, with a medium, sturdy frame—likely a mix of Doberman, shepherd, and hound. Ziggy is heartworm negative and ready for a home that can match his need for affection and activity.
