My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Age: 4 years old
Weight: 15 pounds

Meet Ziggy!
-Loves belly rubs and cuddling!
-Listens to commands.
-Sleeps in his crate amazingly well.
-Has good potty manners.
-Respects the cats.

Ziggy is the new supreme leader of your household. Ziggy's big energy can felt from the other side of the shelter. That being said, when family or friends come over, he needs to be put away or slowly introduced because he does not take kindly to home intruders. Ziggy will either approve of your social choices or run them out the door.

Ziggy is an aggressive feminist and finds joy in making grown men scream like little girls. In fact, we are pretty sure he lives off of it! Ziggy is the perfect example of a small dog with a spicy personality! He does show potential to live with cats-his current foster has cats.

Ziggy expects nothing less than complete respect and devotion from his furry housemates. He is the boss. There is no changing that. Ziggy needs a home willing to look death in the face every time they need to correct him. If you're the type of person who is always looking for trouble, this is your companion. Ziggy's RBF is so strong it can send shivers down the back of even the strongest people. Ziggy is ready to move out of his foster's home and settle into a new castle. Apply to be graced with his perpetual presence!

To meet Ziggy, schedule a meet-and-greet by completing an Adoption Survey on the Adopt tab of our website!

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there's official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). Adoption donations are to be made via cash, check, and credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards.

Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.

We typically have adoption events on Wednesday 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8pm and, Saturday noon to 4pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process.

Old Dominion Humane Society is a volunteer based organization. We are run completely by volunteers, who also have full time jobs, so we appreciate your patience. Currently, the average timeframe for a response to your application is 1 week.
