My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Ziggy! I am a 5-year-old, neutered male dog in need of a lifelong, loving home. I am housetrained, leash trained and I know basic commands. My sister Ruby and I ended up at the shelter due to landlord issues. I love people and I enjoy playing catch, taking walks and getting belly rubs. I get along with other dogs and I hope I can find a home with my sister Ruby. We've lost everything we know, except for one another. I am a fun dog who just wants to be loved. Please give me a chance! Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

I live at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center at 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills. You can visit me there any time the shelter is open. The shelter will not put me up for adoption because of my appearance, so my only way out of the shelter alive is through a rescue.

To adopt, if you have a fenced yard, call Shannon with MPEP at 586-530-7511.

To adopt, if you do not have a fenced yard, send an email to Rejoyceful Rescue at arejoycefulrescue@yahoo.com or apply online at www.rejoycefulrescue.com/#!adoptapp/c1gm9.

VISIT: Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center, 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills any time the shelter is open, Monday - Friday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. or Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.


Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.
