Ziggy's story...
Ziggy is an absolute gem! He is a medium sized dog (about 60 lbs), has a dark brown coat, and is a purebred Thai Ridgeback. These dogs are said to be awesome companions. They are tough, active and have a great jumping ability. Ziggy is 4 1/2 years old and unfortunately for his family their work commitments are making it hard to find the time to devote to him.


Ziggy is an excellent family pet. He loves attention and will nuzzle you with his nose to get you to pet him. He absolutely loves going for walks. He also enjoys lying around in the sun, either in the house by the window or in the yard poolside although he does not like the water at all. He is a healthy, happy boy that loves people of all ages. He has a very loud bark and would make a great watchdog but he is not aggressive and loves everyone. In fact Ziggy thinks everyone coming to the house is there to visit him!


When asked if he would like a treat, he doesn’t bark but rather “speaks” to you. He will try to sneak on the bed at times but for the most part he prefers sleeping in his own doggy bed. He is fine when left in the home on his own and is accustomed to having free roam of the house.


This is a very intelligent breed and like a child he will often pretend he doesn’t hear you when you call him preferring instead to continue on with what he is doing. For this reason he can never be let off leash in an open area until he has been trained to come consistently on command. For now he would definitely need a home with a securely fenced backyard to play in.


his is not a common breed in Canada and as such he gets a lot of attention from strangers which he loves. He really needs to be a part of the family and is a very loyal and loving companion. He is a “counter-surfer” but overall a very good boy that deserves as much as he gives.

Ziggy is well loved and will remain in his family home until a new suitable loving home is found for him.


If you are interested in adopting Ziggy please submit an application for consideration.

About Our Rescue Group...
Ugly Mutts Dog Rescue is a committed and caring group of volunteers that combine their talents and experience to help aid dogs in danger of being euthanized.

We supply quality foster care, train and rehabilitate dogs to become loving capable companions and then place them with approved adopters into suitable, permanent, loving new homes.

We ensure that each potential adopter is educated on matters of breed specifics, health and general behaviour traits related to the pet of their choice and make them aware that responsible dog ownership demands a lifetime commitment to the pet.

Come Meet Our Pets...
We always have a variety of lovingly maintained pets for adoption and they can change on a daily basis so, if you do not see someone looking for a home today that interests you, please come back and visit us again.

If you do see a pet that you are interested in, please go to our web site at www.uglymutts.com and submit an application from the Dogs for Adoption page. Once you have done that one of our volunteers will be more than willing to answer any questions you might have and advise you whether we feel the pet would be a good match for your home.

Please note that we are often speaking with several potential adopters about a particular dog and showing interest does not guarantee that you will be selected for adoption of that pet.

Our Adoption Process...
All of our pets are assessed prior to adoption and adopters are given full disclosure to any behaviour, health or other issues that may be affecting the pet. We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront and our screening process helps ensure that not only can the adopter fulfill the needs of the pet, but also that every adopters desires for a pet are fulfilled by the pet.

You must submit an application to be considered as a potential adopter. The application can be found on our website at http://www.uglymutts.com on the Dogs for Adoption page.

We do not adopt on a first come, first served basis and we do not hold dogs without a signed commitment from the adopter. We do reserve the right to refuse any adopter for whatever reason. Visiting a specific dog is done by appointment only and donations requested for each pet may vary.

We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
Ugly Mutts Dog Rescue works with kill shelters, private owners and other like minded rescue groups to coordinate, rescue and provide loving foster care to dogs in need until they are placed in suitable, loving new homes.

Ugly Mutts operates and maintains foster homes in Hamilton, Toronto and throughout Southern Ontario.
