Ziggy is a 3.5 year old chi/doxie mix who has a big personality. She was surrendered to a downstate animal control because her previous owners could no longer care for her. She is smaller, weighing in at 18 lbs, but could lose a few pounds. She walks well on leash, enjoys people, loves running around with squeaky plush toys. She can be found often crawling underneath dog beds and throwing around toys. Ziggy is dog selective and would possibly do well with a dog of similar size that is very mellow. She does not like the presence of cats. Ziggy does need some patience and gentle introductions as she is nervous of strangers. We often joke she is our office guard dog. She is not a huge fan of being picked up or her stomach/legs being touched but loves her back and head pet. Once she knows you and is comfortable, she will sit in your lap, too.
