About ZIGGY - $300

ZIGGY was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs have just 3 dogs to be saved and transported to the rescue in Sebec, Maine. ZIGGY is neutered, core vaccines, rabies, heartworm and tick disease tested negative, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and micro-chipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 21 August 2016 and at the time of rescue in the end of August 2019, weighed around 44.00 pounds. The shelter has a breed listing of Shepherd Mix, from the picture we think he could be a Flat Coated Retreiver mix, however, we have no way of knowing the exact breed, it is up to individuals to decide what breed they think is most likely. ZIGGY arrived at the rescue on Thursday, 12th September and was a very humble boy. He was gentle, loving, sweet, affectionate and more on the submissive side. Over his time here at the rescue, ZIGGY has gained confidence and loves to play and chase and wrestle with the other dogs and pups although he is still submissive with more alpha dogs. ZIGGY has been estimated to be around 3 years old from the shelter vet but he does act younger, so remember the age is just an estimate on his condition at the time the shelter picked him up. He is very active and will need a family that can give him the physical exercise along with training and mental stimulation he needs to live a long happy life. ZIGGY would make a great all round family pet, I have not seen him with children, however, his laid back, gentle and submissive demeanor makes me confident he would be great as long as children treat him respectfully and of course as with all dogs are supervised at all times. He is a happy boy and deserves a wonderful forever family and home. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO COMMENT HOW HE WILL BE AROUND CATS OR LIVESTOCK. ZIGGY is available for adoption for an adoption fee of US $550. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food, general day to day cost of running a brick and mortar rescue and anything else that is needed. Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada.
