My story

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

Ziggy started out as a tiny pup, and like Clifford the Big Red Dog, kept growing & growing! Ziggy is 85lbs at 1yr old. While he looks tough, he really is a big baby.

His fav thing, besides eating, is snuggling. If you’re looking for a TV watching snuggle buddy, or someone who might sneak into your bed at night, this is your guy. He is all about being by your side.

He hates getting in the car, but loves the dog park! He is social w/ other dogs & people. He lives w/ 3 younger kids, a dog, and a cat. When visitors come to the house, he does give an intense greeting with barking and jumping. We’re working on correcting this behavior.

He likes to walk but does not demand it. He’s pretty content to sleep, eat, and play fetch with you. Because of his size and build, he does pull initially, but relaxes once you get going. He doesn’t really react to other people or animals on his walks.

He has lots of potential, & would make a great companion!
