Ziggy - Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in San Diego, California

Hi. I'm Ziggy.

Before we go any further, there's something you should know.

I have the softest and fluffiest ears you've ever touched.

Seriously. People can't seem to stop petting them. I don't mind though—I actually think it's part of my charm.

I'm about 6 months old, part Retriever, part Shepherd, and 100% good boy.

I'm at that really fun age where everything is an adventure. A walk around the neighborhood? Amazing. Playing in the yard? Best day ever. Going on a hike, exploring a trail, chasing a toy, riding in the car? Count me in.

Life is pretty exciting when you're Ziggy.

I'd love a home with a yard where I can stretch my legs, play, and enjoy being a puppy. I have a playful, happy-go-lucky personality and would make an incredible companion for an active person, couple, or family.

I also happen to be excellent best-friend material.

Already have a dog? Great! I'd love a canine buddy to play with and learn from. Looking for your one-and-only sidekick? I'm happy to take that job too.

What I'm really looking for is someone to share life with.

Someone who wants a dog waiting excitedly at the door when they come home. Someone who wants a hiking partner, a road-trip buddy, a couch companion, and a loyal friend all rolled into one handsome package.

Everyone keeps telling me my forever family is out there.

Maybe it's you.

If you've been waiting for a sweet, playful, affectionate young dog who will make you smile every single day, I'd love to meet you.

Love,

Ziggy 🐾
