Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Roanoke, Virginia

"Ziggy, Ziggy, Ziggy can't you see, sometimes your smile just hypnotizes me."

Ziggly wiggly, Ziga-licious, or Zigs this sweet boy has many nick names and he always responds with a smile to each one! Ziggy's best quality is his smile, but after that Ziggy is known for his goofy personality, charming good looks, and being so happy and loving! Ziggy is always greeting everyone who stops by his kennel with that big happy smile and an eager wiggling body. But somehow he's still here!

Ziggy is approximately 7 years old and very well-trained. He knows all sorts of tricks, he's house trained, crate trained, and good with other dogs! We absolutely adore Ziggy but the shelter is no place for a big sweet boy like this. Ziggy hasn't been put out of the shelter for quite some time so if we can't find him an adopter we'd love to find him a foster!

If you are interested in Ziggy please email foster@lynchburghumane.org, or adoption@lynchburghumane.org, you can also stop by in person!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
