Ziggy

My story

Hi, meet Ziggy!  Ziggy is a 6-year-old, 18-pound Chihuahua/Dachshund mix.  Ziggy was  surrendered to Help A Dog Smile Rescue when his owners could no longer care for him. Ziggy is now in a wonderful foster home and is ready to find his forever home.     Ziggy is a bit tentative when first meeting new folks.  He just needs a bit of time to warm up to folks.  Ziggy’s ideal forever home will be with a calm and patient female owner who understands that he needs time to feel safe and secure.  Once he trusts you, he will gladly lay beside you for tummy rubs and maybe even watch a Hallmark movie with you!  An adult home is probably the best fit for this guy as active kids or a busy household could be just too much for Ziggy.  Ziggy’s foster family has been working with Ziggy on housetraining and he is doing great. He has a routine and schedule that works for him.  As with all dogs, a new routine and environment may require a brush up on Ziggy’s house training skills.  Ziggy has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee of $350 helps offset the cost of medical expenses. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think Tristan could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*:    https://helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application .   *Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up. March 28, 2025, 8:44 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ziggy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
