Story
Great news! My adoption fee has been paid by someone who loves me and wants me to find a great home.Here's what you need to know about me:I'd like a relaxed home. I wouldn't say I'm "old"... I've just been around for a while. And that's made me appreciate the finer things in life like naps in the sun, looking out windows, and the special joy when you're able to scratch juuuuust the right spot. I like to take it easy at home - I'm not up for lots of activity.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.

Here's what you need to know about me: Hi, I'm Ziggy! I'm a shy girl with a heart of gold. I appreciate a gentle approach so I can get to know you slowly. My favorite treats are the way to my heart! Once we're friends I love to say hi with a wiggly butt, perked up ears and gentle kisses. I love spending quiet time with my shelter friends and getting pets. I've been working hard at coming out of my shell and getting used to new things and I've been told I am getting braver every day! My favorite outdoor activity is going for long sniffy walks. I like to check in with my people and have a treat tossed to me. I will catch it every time! I'd love to go home with someone who can continue helping me build confidence out in the world. I promise to reward you by being a fun companion for adventures and shower you with love. I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.

Here's what you need to know about me:I'm a show stopper and a very sweet boy. I walk slowly on my leash with an adorable swagger. Sometimes my shelter peeps walk me through the lobby and everyone treats me like a rockstar! I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.I'd like a home where my family is home often. I'm just really social and love spending time with people.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.
