My story

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

Meet Ziggy — Your Big, Bouncy Best Friend!

Ziggy is a 3ish-year-old oversized goofball with the heart of a puppy and the body of a 65 pound marshmallow. He is a Lab Pit mix with the classic Lab build and that adorable square pittie head that makes him look like he was born for head scratches.

This boy LOVES life. Everything is exciting. Toys? Exciting. Walks? Super exciting. New people? VERY exciting. He is the dog version of “WOOHOO!” wrapped in fur.

Ziggy plays great with other dogs and reads the room surprisingly well. If a dog tells him “Hey dude, chill,” he politely backs off. His size can be a little intimidating at first glance, but his personality is all sunshine. He is friendly with dogs of all sizes although his enthusiasm might be a bit much for small or timid pups.

He is also an A plus water dog who loves to play outside, splash, swim, and then come inside for a good chill session. When it is bedtime or downtime, he settles in after about fifteen minutes and becomes a cuddly, snoring couch ornament.

Ziggy is:
• House and kennel trained
• A great walker although he still pulls a little because he is strong
• A playful chewer when bored so he should be kenneled when unsupervised
• A sweetheart with people but can be jumpy at first because he is excited to say hello
• A bit clueless about his size which makes him feel like a giant toddler in a medium large body

Because of his enthusiasm and occasional jumping or leash pulling, Ziggy would benefit from an adopter willing to continue a little basic training at home. He is smart, eager to please, and will absolutely thrive with a family who gives him structure and love.

If you love big happy wiggly dogs who bring laughter into every room they enter, Ziggy is your guy. He will make every walk every play session and every lazy afternoon feel like an adventure. He just needs a family who loves him back.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Prior to an adoption, all of our animals will have received a thorough Veterinary exam, received treatment needed for any illnesses or injuries they may have incurred prior to their Rescue, they have been spayed or neutered, and they have been vaccinated and have been given Microchip IDs!

Our Adoption Fees range depending on the animal. Careful consideration is taken when determining this fee. We consider the animals’ previous medical expenses, length of time in our care, adopt-ability factors, future needs, etc. Each animals adoption’ fee will be listed within his/her profile information.

We wish that we could simply give our animals to their new adoptive family at zero cost. However, Mutts & Mayhem is a non profit organization who relies solely on individual donations and adoption fees to care for all of our animals on a day to day basis. The cost associated with treating and caring for each animal far outweighs the adoption fee that you pay for that animal through your adoption. Please keep all of this in mind if it seems to you that the adoption fee listed may be too high for that animal.


To be considered for adoption you need to:

•Be at least 18 years old.
•Have knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household
•Have a valid government-issued photo ID
•Have landlords consent to bring an animal onto the property (if applicable)
•Possess zero criminal convictions for Animal Cruelty, Animal Abuse, Family/Domestic Violence or Felony Violent Crimes.
•Understand that Mutts & Mayhem reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any animal to any person.

Through the adoption process, we will ask you to complete an adoption application and we will process it as promptly as possible. For dog adoptions, we do require a home visit prior to the final approval of an adoption application. After your adoption application has been approved, we will complete an adoption agreement with you that is signed by all parties.

After your adoption, if "anything" happens where you can no longer keep or care for the pet that you adopted from us, we will happily accept that animal back into our Rescue, no questions asked.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are happy to schedule a "Meet & Greet" and/or an Adoption for one or more of our animals by appointment. We hold public adoption events periodically where you may meet our animals on the spot.

More about this rescue

Mutts & Mayhem Emergency Search and Rescue (MMESAR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2013 by two active duty Paramedics. Our organization operates a specialized boots on the ground Team providing a coordinated effort in the response, search, rescue and capture phases for sick, injured, and elusive stray animals in Collin County.  We triage our cases based on their medical and trauma status and sick and injured stray cases are worked first considering the nature of their emergency and location. Cases outside of our service area are accepted on a case by case basis.

MMESAR does not currently have a brick and mortar shelter location open to the public. We receive no federal or state funding and we rely solely on donations from generous individuals, businesses, foundations, and grants to support our programs and services.
