Well, hello there! I'm Ziggy Moon Dust, a handsome 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix and I've got a whole lot of love packed into this little body. I'm what you might call a professional companion. If you sit down, I sit down. If there's a lap available, well, that's obviously where I belong! I love being close to my human, and I'd really prefer to sleep beside you at night. Don't worry, I don't snore! But don't let my cuddly side fool you. I'm also quite the adventurer! I LOVE playing fetch, going for long walks, and spending time in the yard. Sunbathing is a particular favorite. And every now and then, I get a serious case of the zoomies. And speaking of entertaining, my zoomies are legendary. Sometimes my little legs just have to GO! I can turn an ordinary afternoon into a full-blown sporting event! I can be a little timid when we first meet, but I warm up quickly. Once I'm comfortable, my sassy, confident personality comes shining through. I enjoy the company of other dogs, big and small, and I especially like older kids. I'm housebroken, know how to use a doggie door, and I'm learning more about the world every day. I'm still working on my manners and boundaries, especially coming when called, so I'll need a patient human who is willing to help me continue learning. I do have a couple of little hobbies that you should know about. Socks are apparently delicious, and shoes are just irresistible chew toys. I'm not saying I recommend this behavior, but I do find it entertaining. Fortunately, a firm but friendly 'Oi!' reminds me that perhaps I should reconsider my choices. I'm a work in progress, after all! And no apartments for me I do have some opinions and also feel like vacuums are the devil. Crates really aren't my thing, and I'd do best in a home where I won't be expected to spend time in one. I'm a people-oriented little guy, and I much prefer having room to relax and be part of the family. I may need a little reassurance when you leave, but I've learned that my humans come back! I'm a healthy, happy little guy looking for a home where I can be someone's constant companion. Someone who enjoys walks, playtime, sunshine, laughter, and lots and lots of snuggles. So, if you're looking for a little shadow with a big personality and an even bigger heart, I might just be your guy. If you think I am the one for you submit this application to 'my people' and they will be in touch if they think you are a good match! https://form.jotform.com/cherishedtails/dog-application
