Ziggy

Meet Ziggy! Ziggy was originally with Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue last year when he was a 2 month old pup and adopted in December of 23. He is a mix of Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever! He was returned to the rescue last week Thursday. The original adopter says that he jumped up on her oldest child and nipped his ear which caused an injury. Ever since, her kids have struggled to bond with him. What I see in Ziggy now that he's back in Rescue with me: Ziggy is gentle and SO SO SO well behaved! He knows all basic commands- sit, stay/wait, down, shake. He doesn't always like to come inside when called. He also needs work with leash pulling, but a good harness would probably do the trick. He is housebroken and has freedom to go wherever he wants in the house. Does lay on furniture and also likes to sleep in my bed. I have not seen any destruction or chewing of any kind. Original adopter says good with cats but has not been socialized with other dogs since he was with his previous adopted family. Ziggy is doing pretty good with his foster siblings. Working on boundaries if there are treats outside and he doesn't have one. Ziggy is also wonderful with my 7 year old. Previous adopted family says good with kids. I would agree. I don't have any concerns with Ziggy and kiddos. Thinking the incident mentioned may have been a puppy just being a pup. Ziggy's DOB is 10/7/23 He is neutered and appears to be up to date on vaccines. Will need to confirm. This is the perfect trained young pup!! He is available soon (pending vetting) with an adoption fee of $550 Please fill out an application if you are interested on the Tiny Paws website at www.tinypawssmalldogrescue.org
