s legs for days and is a goofy girl who always finds a way to make you smile. She is the perfect mix of playful and sweet and can't wait to find her fur-ever family. Ziggy weighs about 8lbs, but is a little underweight and needs to gain more weight. Ziggy came to us from a local shelter after she was found wandering the streets as a stray. She was never claimed by an owner and was very stressed at the shelter with all the chaos. She has been thriving in foster care and has shown us she is such a fantastic gal once away from the craziness. Ziggy is a true lovebug who loves cuddles and being with her people. She will never turn down an opportunity to snuggle up with her foster family. While she loves her cuddles, she is also a ball of energy who loves to race around the yard and wrestle with her foster brother. She would do best with an active family that can keep up with her peppy personality. She is a well-mannered girl around the home, but is reactive to dogs and people while on a leash and needs a family committed to continuing her training. She is very food-motivated and quick to learn. She can be nervous when she first meets men (some more than others), but has done well living with men after a slow intro and lots of yummy treats. Ziggy loves other small dogs and became instant BFFs with her foster brother. She can sometimes get intimidated by large dogs, but could do well with a slow introduction. Ziggy has done well living with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Ziggy has done well living with kids and could be a wonderful addition to a home with kids 7 years and older. Ziggy is housetrained, but her new family should expect a few accidents while she is adjusting to a new home and routine. She has been doing well being crated and does well in her crate when home alone and overnight. Ziggy would do best in a home with a yard. Ziggy has mild luxating patellas in both knees. She hasn't shown to be in any pain and doesn't require any treatment at this time. She may need joint support as she ages, but she is a happy and healthy girl now. Ziggy is such a happy and loving girl, and she deserves a family just as great as her. If you think that might just be you, submit an adoption application today! Ziggy's adoption fee is $250.
