About Riggs

Meet Riggs, a charming three-year-old neutered male Terrier mix, weighing in at a manageable 18 lbs. He has a delightful personality that shines through his love for cuddling, playing, and spending time with his humans. Riggs thrives on being held, napping in laps, and engaging in playful antics with his foster brother and squeaky toys. His silly nature keeps things lively, as he’s not shy about letting you know when he wants attention or prefers to crawl around on his belly. Potty training is going well for Riggs, as he follows a regular schedule without accidents when taken outside. He initially had some marking tendencies, but they diminished as he grew more comfortable in his environment. Riggs also handles crate training with ease, settling in nicely overnight or when home alone. This lovable dog is learning the ins and outs of being a house pet, from mastering jumping on the couch to walking on a leash. He responds excellently to encouragement and praise, making him a fast learner. Riggs is eager to find a forever home where he can continue to thrive.
