Story
If you are looking for a mature, handsome, super sweet gentleman companion, Ziggy will steal your heart! This amazing boy spent his life with a family who seemingly treated him well, but decided to abandon him at a kill shelter at the age of 10, because they were loving. It is unfathomable to us that someone could have this devoted, tender, loving boy by their side for a decade then leave him potentially to die, but all that could be done was searching for an opportunity for this guy to make it out of the shelter. Thankfully, a wonderfully loving foster home agreed to welcome this easy going little angel to ensure he survived the shelter, and had a chance to find real love. Ziggy is 10, and is doing wonderfully. He has had his vaccines, deworming, microchipping, neuter, and heartworm testing completed. He’s current on preventative and is weighing in at a healthy 30 lbs. He’s a delightful blend of breeds and is a perfect petite medium. Easy to take anywhere and having an incredibly stable, relaxed, fabulous temperament. This guy really is a gentleman! From the moment he was picked up by his foster family, he has been absolutely incredible with everyone. He’s happy go lucky, confident, easy going, friendly nature steals the spotlight everywhere he goes! He is fantastic with other dogs, excellent with cats, and even loves children. He enjoys playing with other dogs but is not a guy who requires a lot of exercise. He likes to take walks and be by your side for car rides or other little adventures, but he’s equally happy to snooze on the sofa cuddled up with you enjoying the good life! He’s a perfect happy cheerful 10, he’s still got some pep in his step, he’s happy to make new friends and is the easiest guy to love and care for! He reliably goes potty outside and is just the kind of guy who brings nothing but happiness and love everywhere he goes. He will grateful be by your side and would love a chance to devote his golden years to someone who will truly love him always. If this amazing little guy has captured your heart and you’d love to give him the love and commitment of a real family and home, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!
