About Ziggy

Ziggy is a big, exuberant Lab/Pit mix who lights up every room with his energy and wagging tail. At around three years old and roughly 65 pounds, this dog is built for adventure, whether that's bounding into a lake, wrestling a squeaky toy, or greeting you like a long-lost friend. His Lab build and blocky Pit head give him a friendly look, and he lives up to it—Ziggy gets along well with other dogs and respects their cues, though his excitement can overwhelm smaller or shy pups. Inside, Ziggy is house and kennel trained and will chill out once his zoomies subside, becoming an oversized lap dog and affectionate couch buddy. He’s a strong walker and loves being outside, especially water play, though he’ll need someone to reinforce leash manners. Because he doesn’t always know his own size and can be jumpy, a bit of continued training will help him thrive. Enthusiastic, smart, and always eager to please, Ziggy is ready for a life filled with structure, love, and plenty of playtime. He’s looking for people who appreciate big, happy, wiggly dogs as much as he does. Make every day a little brighter with Ziggy in McKinney, TX. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
