Story
Ziggy is a little guy with a big personality. He loves being with his people and will happily follow them everywhere. He is always ready to cuddle, play ball in the backyard, go for walks, or ride along in the car. Ziggy is an active puppy who enjoys both his foster family and the other dogs in the home, and he will need an adopter who is home most of the day as well as another dog in the home. Ziggy has made tremendous progress in foster care, but he still needs continued work when meeting new people. He can be reactive and may even try to bite, especially if he is being held and someone approaches him, so he would not do well in an apartment setting. He will need a patient adopter committed to positive reinforcement, proper introductions, and continued training. He also does best with slow introductions to new dogs, but once comfortable, he is very playful and dog-friendly. His foster family has been working hard on his fearful and protective behaviors around strangers, and Ziggy continues to improve every day. He is a smart puppy who wants to please and has so much potential with the right guidance and structure. Ziggy is 8 months old, weighs 8.6 pounds, and we are guessing he is a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix. Any children in the home should be 13 years or older. If you are interested in adopting Ziggy, applications can be submitted at www.rescuerowinc.org

Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.
