My name is Ziggy and here is a little about me:
Breed: Shepherd/Terrier Mix
Age: 2.5 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 50 lbs
Height: 23 inches
Highlights: very active, playful, intelligent, confident
A playful pup for sure, you'll find I can add amusement to your life https://youtu.be/wqPn9LDBdHg. I am no scared mouse, but am an assertively confident pup https://youtu.be/fQnBGcet2xg.
My mom was pregnant on the streets in Cleveland, Texas. My rescuer brought her in and she had 9 puppies. Unfortunately, 2 of my siblings didn't survived! I did though and I have been looking for my forever home for quite some time now and am so ready to find it!
I do well with other dogs that are more dominant than me but maybe too much for a smaller pup in the home. Probably due to my higher energy levels. I love playing independently so maybe best for me to be the only pet in the home as I am also a little too curious with kitties.
I would do good in almost any home. I would say if there are smaller children, then training would be a good idea so that I do not jump up on them. I would most certainly be protective watching over them though.
If you are adventurous and like getting out for fun, I'm your pup. Bet we could enjoy many activities together. Maybe agility would be my forte or barn hunt. Maybe surfing or hiking the woods. Ooo... or going boating or running or wow, just about anything.
As you can see, I am a happy, loving boy: https://youtu.be/qhpi-2uNDhA.

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
