Ziggy's Story

Meet Ziggy, a one-of-a-kind pup with a heart of gold! This young man (approximate BD: 7/27/25) is a bundle of energy and joy, with a playful and curious spirit that will keep you on your toes. Ziggy is an athletic boy who loves to explore and play, but don't be fooled by his energetic exterior, he's also a gentle soul who is learning to trust humans and is on the lookout for a calm and patient home. Ziggy has a funny and gentle nature, and he gets along well with other dogs, so he'll need to join a family that already has a furry friend to help him feel comfortable and continue building his confidence. He will bring a unique perspective to your life, having been born and lived on the streets of Flint until he was rescued in late November, and he just needs a chance to show you how loving and loyal he can be. With a little time, love, and patience, Ziggy will blossom into the most incredible companion. He just needs that special someone to take a chance on him and provide the stable and loving environment he needs to truly shine. Could that someone be you?<br/><br/>Ziggy was rescued by an outreach group in Flint when they were able to lure him into a crate with food (unfortunately they could not secure his sibling or dad). He was then transferred to his current foster home where he has been allowed to decompress and begin to learn not only to trust humans, but how to be a puppy. He absolutely loves other dogs and we believe it is best for him to have another dog in the home to continue to help build his confidence and provide comfort and security. While he has made tremendous behavioral progress since November, he will require a calm home with patient humans who are willing to let him feel comfortable in his new environment without pressure. Probably no young children would be best. We are working on overall manners, and he definitely needs to work on his leash behavior (he shuts down), but he continues to amaze us with how loving he is and how far he has come in such a short time. <br/><br/>Ziggy is not yet house trained, but he is crate trained. He is a wonderful candidate for training as he is very food motivated. He is neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, on flea and heart worm preventative, and micro-chipped. This puppy will REQUIRE A PHYSICALLY FENCED YARD. No apartments or condos for this dog please as he is still considered a high flight risk.<br/><br/>$300 adoption fee<br/><br/><br/>***** If you think you are a fit for this puppy, please fill out an application. <br/><br/>HOW TO MEET: This sweetheart may be at the Livonia PetSmart on Saturdays from 11-3.

Please email us if there is a specific dog you would like to meet to be sure they will be at the adoption event. We ask that you DO NOT contact PetSmart about our animals. They are kind enough to provide space for our adoption events, but are not involved with our rescue work.<br/><br/>HOW TO APPLY: If you would like to apply for this dog or any of our other dogs, please request an application by clicking the “START YOUR INQUIRY” button. <br/><br/>You can also go directly to our website at www.waganimalrescue.com to fill out an application. <br/><br/>You must be at least 25 years old to apply. <br/><br/><br/>IMPORTANT: An application must be filled out and approved before we will make special arrangements to meet a dog.

WAG Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption fees provide some recuperation of costs associated with providing in-home and necessary veterinary care while the animal is in our program. The benefit of adopting from an organization that provides in-home foster care is that the animal’s behavior has been evaluated by their care providers in a natural living environment, rather than oftentimes unpleasant surroundings of a shelter. WAG foster care providers care for the animals as if they are their own, and learn to know the animal’s likes and dislikes, ability to co-exist with other animals, ability to tolerate children, and so forth. A volunteer will review your application and contact you ONLY if you are approved or if further clarification is required. We will make every attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received. Please be patient while we processes your adoption applications. We want to be sure that the best match possible is made, so that the dog does not end up needing re-homing again. Please understand that by answering the questions does not guarantee the adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet. WAG Animal Rescue adopts to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. If you currently own a pet or have a history of pet ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed. Preference is given to applications with prior animal experience and vet references. We are an all-volunteer organization, and regret that we do not have the resources to contact applicants that are not approved. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Approved applicants are based on best fit, not first submitted. WAG RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT, so please understand that it is within our discretion to make those decisions on behalf of our animals. Keep in mind that we depend 100% on volunteers, most of whom have full-time jobs, so we ask for your understanding as we do the best we can in the endless effort to find homes for these deserving animals! WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER, ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE IN ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS HOME. HOW TO MEET: Many WAG's animals are available for viewing and adoption every Saturday from 11 am-3 pm at the Livonia PetSmart, located at Middlebelt and I-96. OUR ADOPTION EVENTS ARE VERY BUSY so please keep that in mind if you intend to come. You should expect to spend some time there if you are sincerely interested in one of our animals (since we have limited manpower and many visitors to screen). WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ANIMAL YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WILL BE AT THE ADOPTION EVENT. We ask that you DO NOT contact PetSmart about our animals. They are kind enough to provide space for our adoption events, but are not involved with our rescue work. Please email us if there is a specific animal you would like to meet to be sure they will be at the adoption event. Please remember.......our first and ONLY consideration is the safety and happiness of our animals.
