About Ziggy

Meet Ziggy! At just 6 months old and weighing 35 pounds, this striking Husky mix has a playful spirit and a gentle heart. Ziggy is up to date on vaccinations, and his neuter is scheduled soon. He’s a dog-friendly boy who would really benefit from a confident canine companion to help build his self-esteem. Currently, he’s a bit skittish around kids and needs some time, positive experiences, and patience to help him feel more secure. Ziggy thrives on playtime, loves to run, and enjoys his toys. While he's doing well in his kennel, he does experience some separation anxiety. He can be quite vocal, reflecting his Husky heritage, so an apartment setting might not be the best fit. A home with plenty of room for him to expend his energy would be ideal, alongside someone dedicated to working with him on training and confidence-building activities. Ziggy is eager to love and engage; he just needs someone willing to guide him. If you think you could be that special person, don’t hesitate to apply! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
