Ziggy

Ziggy is an incredibly handsome 5 year old, 29-pound Chihuahua / Cattle Dog mix. He is an affectionate and sweet boy who just wants to find his forever family. <br/><br/>He was picked up as a stray and taken to an overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Houston, Texas. Farfel's rescued him and brought him to Colorado, where we know his perfect home awaits.<br/><br/>From Ziggy's foster:<br/>"Ziggy is truly such a sweet, loving little guy. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, he completely blossoms into the most affectionate boy. He loves cuddling on the couch, sleeping in bed with me, and following me from room to room. If you're looking for a loyal shadow, Ziggy is your guy!"<br/><br/>Ziggy is looking for a home with a big yard for him to run and play in. One of Ziggy's favorite things is spending time in the yard. With his playful and social nature, Ziggy adores spending time in the yard, chasing squirrels, and playing with other dogs. Walks are stressful for him, so a home with a yard where he doesn't have to go on neighborhood walks is ideal for Ziggy. <br/>He's a smart boy who knows tricks and loves to show them off. He's also a smart little guy who already knows commands like 'sit' and can even catch treats in mid-air!<br/><br/>Ziggy genuinely enjoys other dogs, in the home, at doggy daycare, or anywhere off leash. He can't meet new dogs on leash, but anywhere off leash he loves doggy friends! He does great with other dogs in daycare. The daycare provider has the following to say: "Ziggy does very well in daycare. His best friends are Marvel, Bear and Maggie. He likes to follow around the person in the yard when he needs a break from daycare. He loves cuddles and is very playful. We love Ziggy!"<br/><br/>Ziggy loves brain games to get treats, and enjoys eating his dinner from a puzzle toy.<br/><br/>Because Ziggy has experienced so much instability throughout his life, he thrives on routine, consistency, and being close to his people. He would be happiest in a quieter home with someone who is home much of the day, works from home, or is retired. He may cry or howl when left alone, but he is always left loose in his fosters house and is never destructive. He just likes being with his people.<br/>Ziggy is 100% potty trained, and has wonderful house manners.<br/><br/>Ziggy is in excellent health. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. He is blind in one eye due to what appears to be an old corneal scar, but it doesn't bother him at all and he navigates the world beautifully with his good eye.<br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue would like to see Ziggy continue with positive reinforcement training. A virtual or in-person force-free training class helps build confidence, strengthens the bond between dog and adopter, and sets every rescue dog up for lifelong success. Because of this, we're looking for adopters who are committed to continuing Ziggy's training journey. Training is so important in the future behavior of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's provides a list of approved positive reinforcement trainers. <br/><br/>Ziggy is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for this very sweet, loving and loyal best friend. An application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.<br/><br/>**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Ziggy please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog.
