Ziggy

Description

Ziggy's ideal home

Ziggy is a special little puppy, who is currently in foster care with a lovely family, including children. Ziggy was found as a stray and remained unclaimed before coming into our care. Ziggy requires a calm environment while he grows and develops. Ziggy will need to have controlled exercise & regulated activity as he has angular limb deformity to his front legs (bowed legs) this happens for a number of reasons, the most common being lack of nutrients as a young pup.
Ziggy has had full x-rays and the vets are happy that there are no historical fractures or breaks to his legs.
Some dogs with the correct food and exercise can re-correct over time - this isn't always the case, so anybody applying would need to be conscious of this.

Could you be Ziggy's perfect match?

Ziggy currently needs no medical management, although this may need to be considered as he gets older. Training for Ziggy will be important, as like any young puppy he is active and training and interactive enrichment will be imperative for mental stimulation.
He is great with kids and could live with children in a calm environment, he is to be discouraged from jumping and rough play. He could live with another calm dog, who doesn’t engage in too much play. He walks nicely on the lead, is crate trained and is picking up the toilet training with regular visits and opportunities to toilet in the garden. Ziggy has not been cat tested, being just 5 months old we feel if he is introduced correctly he could live with a cat.
