Ziggy Pit Bull Terrier & American Staffordshire Terrier Mix New Orleans, LA

Hi I'm Ziggy!

They say I'm a gorgeous blue brindle Terrier/Bulldog mix. No one knows my exact mix, but whatever it is, it made me beautiful! I'm about 3 years old and 55 lbs.

My parents went through something called a divorce. I don't know what that means, but somehow it meant neither of them could keep me and I had to go to a foster home. Thankfully, my parents kept up with my vet care prior to surrendering me, so I'm up to date on vaccines and I'm heartworm negative, and already spayed!

I love all humans- every adult and child I meet is my best friend! I really just wants to cuddle and spend time with someone. Affection is all I need to be happy.

I've worked really hard on my training; I know sit, stay, down, come, paw, and I won't jump on you if you don't want me to! I am also kennel and house trained! I love my kennel more than any dog my foster mama has met and I can usually be found snuggling in there with a toy! I am easily entertained with ANY toy. I'll take whatever you give me, I am so appreciative for everything I have. I also like to chase balls, but I prefer not to bring them back. I guess I'm not a retriever.

While I love my human friends, I would like to be the only animal in my home. I was not socialized at all as a baby and came from a very hectic, stressful household. I am really good at passing other pups on leash nicely, but I just prefer not to be around them for too long. It's okay though, I don't need other dog friends to be happy, in fact, I think I'm better off without them.

My foster mom says I've been a joy to have and loves spending time with me, but I'm just going to be around for a lot longer her other fosters because of I want to be an only dog, but I know I'm worth it if someone gives me a chance. If you're searching for a precious little chunk, with a slight under bite and a huge heart, I'm your girl!
