Plenty of Pets
Ziggy is a young dog who’s full of energy.
He’s one year old and weighs 55 pounds. He’s house trained, create trained, and walks well on leash.
He loves to play and snuggle, and is good with other dogs and children. He doesn’t have any experience with cats.
Ziggy gets excited when meeting people, and jumps up, so he needs work in that area.
He’s neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped, and comes with 30 days of pet insurance. His adoption fee is $350.
To learn more about Ziggy, visit the Coastal K9 Rescue website or Facebook page or email [email protected].
