Zig's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/><br/>Hey! I’m Zig!<br/><br/>I’m a Carolina Dog mix with a goofy grin, a big heart, and lots of happy, well-behaved energy. I’ll be 1 year old in April 2026, and at about 40 pounds, I’m the perfect medium-sized adventure buddy.<br/><br/>I’m playful, curious, and always ready for fun — but don’t worry, my energy is the good kind. I’m not destructive, and I know how to settle down when it’s time to relax. I love:<br/><br/>Chew bones<br/><br/>Puzzle games (I’m a smart boy!)<br/><br/>Playing with other dogs<br/><br/>Snuggling with my people and doggy siblings<br/><br/>I get along great with other dogs, kids, and adults, and I’d be thrilled to have a dog friend in my forever home. I truly love being part of a pack.<br/><br/>I’ve got my manners down too! I’m potty trained, leash trained, and crate trained, and I know my basic commands. I sleep well in my crate and handle daily routines like a pro. Car rides aren’t my favorite just yet, but I’m working on it.<br/><br/>When I’m not playing, you’ll probably find me cuddled up with my humans or curled next to another dog. I’m affectionate, social, and happiest when I’m included in family life.<br/><br/>My ideal home would be a playful, active family — especially one with another dog to romp with and people who enjoy both fun and snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, slightly silly best friend, I might just be your guy.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Zig<br/><br/>Ready to meet your new best friend?
