My story

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

**The first step to adopting from MO Min Pin Rescue, is to complete the online adoption application. A good vet reference and heartworm prevention are required.

We do not arrange transport, and you will be responsible for coming to us to get your dog.

Meet Ziggy. He is about a 1.5-2 YO Chi/Dachshund mix but has the personality of a Dachshund/Min Pin. Ziggy did not have the best start in life, as he was found starving and eating trash behind a dumpster. He was finally caught and landed a soft spot in a foster home.

Ziggy has a strong personality and is unafraid to tell you or his friends what he thinks! While his bark is deep, he also loves his people fiercely. Ziggy loves to snuggle, leans into you for a hug, and gives kisses. Ziggy will sit next to you and be your work buddy all day, and then help you with dinner. This boy loves to eat and thinks every snack is for him! Since he was found malnourished, Ziggy does have a bit of food aggression, but nothing that has not been managed with feeding separately. He is also a bit sneaky and will try to follow you out the front door, which he has gotten better with verbal commands, but if you are not careful, he will get past you! LOL. He walks great on a leash and is great in the car too. Ziggy needs another dog buddy who can wrestle and play with him as hard as he wants. He loves to play with the foster dogs, but they are a bit more mature and tend to get frustrated with him after a little while.

I am not sure what happened in Ziggy’s previous life, but he will crouch/cower when he approaches you for love, but he craves it and will be your bestie for years to come. Ziggy only needs a patient and loving family that understands his quirks. He loves kids, and dogs, and has a current love affair going with one of the foster kitties – he tends to bark and chase at the others. We are not sure what he and Frank have going on, but they love to lay and pull on each other.

Located in St. Louis, his adoption fee is $275.
