Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ziggy is an all natural (ears and tails) female Doberman.
You can call me Ziggy, Ziggy Zag, or Zippty Ziggy Zag because I will answer to any of these. My foster mom gave me the extra names because I’m always zipping all over the place. She says that I am an exuberant Doberman, whatever that means.
I came into rescue a few weeks ago and have been hanging out with other Dobermans on a large farm and some new humans. Sometimes new humans coming into the home scare me. I like to bark and make sure that everyone knows that I’m on the watch. My tail is wagging while my mouth is talking and saying hello in a unique way.
My former family got divorced and no longer had time for me. I’m 16 months old and as you can see, I am an all natural Doberman. My tail is kinda fun to chew on and wave around in the air to show off to anyone who wants to see. Other dogs and I get along really well. I do chase cats and haven’t caught on yet. If you have a dog savvy cat, maybe I can learn to behave better around them.
And I love kids. They love me and when they’re my size, I do get a little excited and twirl around. I might knock one down, unintentionally. I would never hurt them. I forget how big and strong I am.
I am good on a leash, love car rides and have learned to sit and wait for my dinner and treats. My former family took me through obedience school and frankly, I could use a refresher course and be taught personal space boundaries. I really, really, really love to curl up on a human’s lap and sleep. I know how to sleep in a crate as well. Housebreaking me has been a challenge. I think I finally showed my foster mom how it works.
My ideal family would want to take me places and do things with me. I want to see the world!! If they worked and taught me how to do either agility or catch a ball, or frisbee, I am down with that. I need a good bit of exercise and have great recall off-leash. I want to run, run, run and then play, play, play.
Remember, I’m still a youngster who has a lot of things to learn and a lot of love to give. I will need a fenced in yard to run around in!
