My story

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

Riggins was adopted as an 8 week old puppy and has been with my boyfriend and I ever since. A little over a year ago, Riggins bit a friend of ours which resulted in her getting stitches. After insurance handled the case, it was decided that she was at fault since Riggins had been taken out of his kennel by her without our permission, and neither of us were home. Before this he had never shown any type of aggression towards other people. Since the bite happened he has been muzzle trained to prevent another incident. We were just informed by insurance that we must rehome Riggins outside of Colorado (where the bite occurred), or else face legal action against us if any further issues arise. He is so, so loved by not only our family but many others and deserves to live the rest of his life in a loving home. We are heartbroken that we have to give him up, but face no other option. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions - we are thankful to you for giving our baby a second chance.
