Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Riggs and I am about 5 years old. My foster mom says I am very loving boy who has come a long way from when I was found as a stray and taken to the shelter. I tested heartworm positive out of the shelter but my treatment has completed and I'm now ready to find my new home. The vet clinic said I was one of the best patients they’ve ever had despite all I’ve been through. You see, not only did I have heartworms but they discovered that I have 2 bullets lodged in my belly. Fortunately they are in the muscle so there is no need to remove them. They don’t bother me at all. I get along really well with my foster brothers and sisters. When I get excited (like when you come into the room or when you are about to feed me) my entire body wiggles. I am crate trained, housebroken, and know how to use a doggy door. I’m so lucky to have been rescued from my rough start in life. I have it really good now in my foster home but am ready to find my forever home. Could it be with you? If you need a loyal, sweet snuggler, email info@habitat4paws.org for more on how to adopt me.
