My story

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

**** Please read adoption information carefully!!!****

-male, 9 months
-black lab mix
-Neutered
-Weight : 34 lbs
-Still a little underweight
-Was hit by a car and suffered a femur fracture. Wasn’t rescued until after the fracture remodeled on its own.
-Will always have a limp on the affected side, but has improved with exercise, stretching, and massaging.
-can already use his leg for running, jumping, and even standing on his back legs.
-Not special needs

Ziggy is a funny little bundle of joy, energy, and affection.

Ziggy is still a puppy, and will continue to grow. He is on the smaller side, but has an abundance of affection and cuteness!

Ziggy is a well-adjusted puppy who has been hand raised. He has never shown any signs of aggression of any kind, including food aggression, although he can occasionally be a little rambunctious. All of the puppies are fed together, and typically choose to share bowls.

Ziggy is used to playing and sleeping with the other dogs on the property. He is well socialized, both with humans and dogs. While I have never seen him interact with a cat, I have no reason to anticipate a problem.
