Fun Facts or Special Tricks: We adopted Ziggy a year ago. We were told he was in a bad situation, so he was always scared and skittish. He has come out of his shell, and we've learned that his bark is a howl. He doesn't really know how to bark but howls in excitement now. He knows how to sit, give kisses, paw, and stay. He is so smart, and I need to teach him more tricks! He is the sweetest/happiest dog, loves belly rubs, splooting, walks, and his brother Bowie. He has learned a lot from his brother Bowie. Ziggy makes us and everyone around him smile. We are so happy he's with us and that he is happy and safe now!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ZIGGY AND HIS FAMILY!!!

As we approach the 4th of July, it's crucial for pet owners to prioritize their pets' safety and comfort. Fireworks can be loud and frightening, leading to anxiety in many animals. Now is an excellent time to double-check your pets' medications and ensure they have a safe space to retreat to during celebrations. Taking these steps can significantly reduce stress and help maintain their well-being during festive occasions.
