About Jiggs

Jiggs is a delightful one-year-old Yorkie/Chihuahua mix weighing in at just 6 pounds. This cheerful little guy embodies affection and joy, always ready to build new friendships, whether they walk on two legs or four. Jiggs thrives around other dogs, having successfully shared his kennel with strangers at the shelter in Texas. While he would love a playful companion, he is also more than happy to be the sole focus of your attention. This sweet boy craves human interaction and adores being part of family activities. He finds his happiest moments while receiving pets, playing, or simply relaxing beside his favorite people. His foster notes how quickly he settled in, walks well on a leash, loves to snuggle, and shows signs of being potty trained, having only had one slight accident in three days. Jiggs is not just adorable; he is up to date on vaccinations, has been fully vetted, and is healthy and neutered. It’s important that he goes to a home where he will receive ongoing care, exercise, and love. Positive reinforcement training is crucial for his development, and Farfel's is ready to support you with training resources. Adopters can try a week-long trial to ensure a good fit, with a full refund of the adoption fee if it doesn’t work out. If you’re ready to welcome this sweet little guy into your home, apply today!
