Meet Ziggy—gorgeous, goofy, and guaranteed to steal your heart within seconds!

Seriously… have you seen this face? At just under 3 months old, Ziggy is the full puppy package: playful, sweet, a little mischievous, and always ready to turn your day into something more fun. He’s got that irresistible mix of curiosity and cuddles—one minute he’s off on a tiny adventure, the next he’s melting into you like you’ve been his person forever.

Ziggy’s story, though, didn’t start out so bright. He and his family were found alongside a busy highway, where danger was constant. There were originally 10 puppies… but before our volunteer could reach them, two were tragically hit and lost. Thanks to that same dedicated volunteer, Ziggy, his seven siblings, and their mama Zinnia made it to safety—and now they’re thriving.

Now it’s time for the best part: finding each of them the forever homes they deserve. Ziggy is soaking up everything his foster home is teaching him. He’s working hard on potty training, learning his puppy manners, and figuring out how to be the best boy he can be. Like any puppy, he’ll thrive with a consistent routine, continued training, and a family ready to guide him as he grows.

He does great with other pets and would be a wonderful fit for a home with kids who don’t mind a little roughhousing and playful energy. Ziggy brings the fun—but he also brings the love, loyalty, and companionship that will only grow stronger with time.

He’s going to make a truly fabulous companion, and we’re committed to finding him a home that’s just as special as he is. So… who’s in?

If you’re ready to give this beautiful boy the life he’s been waiting for, apply at the link below and tell us why you should be Ziggy’s forever family.

LOCATION & TRANSPORT:

This dog is currently in South Mississippi. Local and out-of-town adopters are welcome. For out of town adopters, we offer virtual meet-and-greets and can arrange transport to many states in the Northeast. (The $450 adoption fee includes transport to the city on this listing. Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

VETTING:

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped. Note: We cannot guarantee full grown size or breed mix. Both are guesses based on physical characteristics and any known history.
