My story

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

We adopted Ziggy from an animal rescue in 2016 in Manchester CT. We believe he was around two years old when we adopted him. He is about 60 lbs. We have a 16-month-old daughter and recently welcomed twin boys in October 2023. Due to our busy lives, Ziggy does not receive the love and attention he deserves. He patiently waits for us to find time to throw balls for him and get his exercise in. Ziggy loves running and chasing balls. Ziggy takes some time to warm up to new people so an experienced adopter must be patient and earn his trust. Ziggy has lived with dogs and cats before. He is house-trained and knows basic commands like sit, stay, come, and lay down. Ziggy needs leash training because he pulls and lunges during walks and hikes. Ziggy is very food-motivated. Ziggy is goofy and playful and loves pets and attention. We have been occupied with the newborns and want Ziggy to go to a home that lets him run, play, and feel loved.
