Ziggy - Terrier and Hound Dog for Adoption in Medfield, Massachusetts

Handsome, smart, and full of energy, Ziggy is a 1-year-old tri-color Terrier/Hound mix who weighs about 45 lbs. He was found as a stray in Tennessee and has spent the last 4 months in a busy foster home team. He took very little time to settle in and has had no transition issues.

Ziggy is a game-for-anything boy. His favorite thing in the world is chasing anything you’ll throw for him. He needs long daily walks and lots of active play in an enclosed area. In foster he gets his exercise in a fenced yard with his canine buddies. He plays with other dogs and has had no issues with any of them.

He’s also well trained. Ziggy went through two 6-week obedience programs at a women’s detention center in Tennessee, and he did great! He is crate trained, house trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He's currently exercised by playing nin a fenced yard with other dogs. He’s been around people of all ages, including meeting children at adoption events. His foster notes a possible interest in squirrels, but no real prey drive. He hasn’t been cat tested.

Ziggy would be a good fit for a family who will carry on his obedience training, love him, and include him in all their activities. Regular walks are a must for this high energy dog.
