Meet Ziggy To be EUTHANIZED Housetrained, great wdogs amp people
My name is ZIGGY. My Animal ID # is A1034988.
I am a male black american staff mix. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years old. I am great with dogs, playful, fun, I listen to commands, walk beautifully on leash, I'm house trained, I sit for treats, and at 4 years old I am at that age where I am nice and calm!
A volunteer writes: Mr. Manners, aka Ziggy, aka Gorgeous, is here to answer all your burning canine etiquette questions. How should a dog walk? Well, it looks like this: The leash slack, perfectly at his walker's knee. Cleanliness? No mess in the kennel, relieving himself immediately outside. Table manners? He would never eat while standing, instead sitting for treats (OK, we'll admit he eats with his mouth open, occasionally.) Making others feel comfortable? Greet all dogs and people with the grace and good will Ziggy does, tail wagging and generous kisses. This is an extraordinary dog. This is a dog who is stopped at every turn in the park to be praised. He is warm, he is lovely, he is calm and friendly and loving and everything anyone could ask for in a pet. And we can only imagine the thank you note he will write when you take him home! We could not love this dog more. He is big, but he is so extraordinarily gentle, the kind of dog that any family would be so grateful to have. Adopt him and all the other dogs in your neighborhood will bow their heads in shame--or sign up for etiquette lessons with him ASAP! Another volunteer writes: Ziggy, the Black Stallion, pitch black, as dark as the darkest night, is a beauty that you will find hard to match. So, why is Ziggy still here? Well, he is Big, Black and Beautiful, a BBB dog.They are always hard to place. And yet, he is such a great boy, asking for a toy, a ball or a treat with a hanging tongue and hopeful eyes. He plays so well and does not guard his stuff. He is quite strong, true, but such a tender soul, a charmer and a lover. I have become very fond of him as I have walked him now so many times. Ziggy is an energetic boy, a large dog who needs some entertainment but he is at an age when wisdom has started to settle. He is not a silly and all-over-the-place puppy. He knows that there is a time to play and a time to rest. . . I could go on and on about Ziggy who seems to have been well cared for by his former owner who lost his home. Just come and see for yourself, meet our boy and you will understand what I am talking about. The eighth marvel of the world. Ziggy is at the Manhattan Care Center.
