Ziggy

My story

Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue.  Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website.  Text 828-506-2742 for more information or to adopt the pet.To meet Ziggy is to love Ziggy!  Ziggy is a 3-year-old boxer/pit bull mix who has been fostered for 2 years in a loving home.  Both his back legs needed CCL surgery, which Dr. Crouch, Western Carolina Veterinary Surgery, performed.  Ziggy has fully recovered and has no mobility issues.Ziggy loves to be home with his people.  He is very loving and has been trained to know many commands.  He gets along well with another dog.  He enjoys walks and being outside.  Adoptive parents need to be aware of reactivity when new people enter his space.  On walks we use a training collar for reactivity on leash towards dogs we pass.  He also will come with pre-paid training to help him transition to his new home.  New owner can continue his training to become an even better companion.  He alerts you when someone comes to the door. He needs a loving home and a steady hand.  Ziggy's foster parents will support his new owner by providing Ziggy's beds (off the ground porch bed and inside bed), full medical records and two months of his food and medicine (heart guard and fluoxetine).  He is a patient at Broad River Animal Hospital in N. Buncombe County.  A home visit and vet references will be expected.Text Margaret at 828-506-2742 today to learn more about, meet or adopt sweet Ziggy! All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information. Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.
