My story

Ziggy is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who truly thrives on love and connection. He adores attention from his people and will happily lean in for pets, belly rubs, cuddles, and gentle praise. Playtime is one of his favourite thingswhether hes romping around the yard, chasing a ball, or playing with his foster dog siblings, he brings a joyful, playful energy that is impossible not to smile at. Ziggy is mid-level active and has a wonderful on/off switch. After he gets a chance to stretch his legs and explore, hes perfectly content to curl up inside for a cozy nap and relax by your side. He has done beautifully with his foster fur brothers and sisters of all sizes, though dogs bigger than him can make him a little nervous at first. With patient, friendly dogs, he warms up quickly and becomes a fun, playful companion. Ziggy is a very smart boy who already knows sit, stay, come, touch, shake, and kennel, (getting the hang of "leave it"), and he would love to continue learning with a family who enjoys working with him and celebrating his successes. This handsome chocolate boy has so much love to give and is ready to settle into a forever home where he can feel safe, cherished, and included as a true family member. Ziggy deserves a life filled with kindness, adventures, and soft places to landand he will repay that love with endless loyalty, gentle affection, and a wagging tail.
