About Ziggy ~ 6mo Chihuahua x Foxie (On Trial 15/2/20)
Ziggy is a playful little 6 month old chihuahua x foxie pup weighing only 3.5kgs! Ziggy is a loving and loyal little chap who won’t leave your side and loves to curl up to sleep as close to you as possible.
Ziggy is good with other dogs as well as chickens after being a bit scared to begin with. He enjoys chasing his foster brother and particularly has a huge amount of energy in the morning after a big nights sleep. Ziggy enjoys his dry biscuits for meals and sneakily likes to steal his foster brother and sisters food too! Ziggy also likes to jump onto his humans lap and lick their faces and to chase toys. His favourite toys are his little stuffed turtle and pink pacifier.
Ziggy is not yet toilet trained but is working towards using pee pads inside and using a doggy door. He likes to sleep in bed with his foster parents and sleeps all night through. Ziggy travels fine in a car and walks well on a lead.
Ziggy would best suit a home with another dog to play with and/or someone home quite often while he is young. He would also suit kids and/or a young family with gentle children as he is very small and has a great temperament. Ziggy would be a great indoor dog.

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:
https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
If there is a phone number listed in the dog's profile then you can also phone for more information.
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption. More details of our Adoption Procedure on our website: https://tinyurl.com/adoptproc
