Ziggy’s Origin Story
Ziggy wasn't just named after a famous alter ego—he's living his own brilliant journey! This pint-sized survivor narrowly escaped the ultimate curtain call at animal control, where he was scheduled for euthanasia. He avoided the perils of animal control only to undergo major surgery for a hernia and other health issues. Like a true rock legend, Ziggy bounced back with the an undaunting resilience that saw him handle his recovery like a champ never even showing like he was in pain—Ziggy's too cool for that.
Life from Ziggy’s Perspective
Ziggy lives by a simple philosophy: sprint like nobody's watching, then claim your throne upon the lap of a friendly human caretaker. This cuddle connoisseur has perfected the art of snuggling and considers laps his natural habitat to bond with you. He's friendly with other dogs but would rather focus on sitting on your lap and giving you his undivided attention. Based on his personality we also believe he would do fine with feline friends.
At a compact 13 pounds, Ziggy is the perfect portable companion who makes walking a fun and stress-free adventure. It can be the Zen time you share. Mostly housetrained (a work in progress), Ziggy wears stylish belly bands indoors to prevent any marking mishaps. His crate training is on point, proving he's got both street smarts and home sense.
Special Notes
Ziggy's only known diva moment comes during grooming—he's not a fan of front nail trims but who is. Trim his back paws with ease. He might announce your departure with a brief vocal performance, but his separation anxiety has decreased as he's settled into routine. He’s ready to settle into a routine with his forever family
.
Due to his petite stature, Ziggy would prefer a home without rambunctious young children who might not appreciate his delicate Yorkshire sensibilities.
Ziggy is Looking For
A forever fan who understands that the most important thing in life isn't fame or fortune—it's having a warm lap to curl up on after a short burst of rock star energy. After all, what’s life without a little razzle dazzle Ziggy Stardust style.
