About Ziggy

Ziggy stands out from the pack. With a lush, medium-length coat and a sharp-minded, alert personality, he’s smart and watchful—traits that make him a compelling companion. Ziggy came in as a stray and now, at around 3–4 years old and about 65 pounds, he’s in his element: strong, eager, and in his physical prime. He does well on a leash, suggesting he’s had some prior training. At the shelter, Ziggy greets people with clear enthusiasm, nearly always happy to see a human. He’s not bothered by cats much, but when it comes to other dogs, he’ll need slow introductions, as he can be choosy about his canine friends.
