Jigzee, Doberman pinscher and Labrador retriever mix
Jigzee is a female Doberman pinscher and Labrador retriever mix being kept at Happy Hearts Dog Rescue.
Jigzee loves other dogs. She needs a cat-free home. Jigzee is spayed and vaccinated and has already been house-trained.
Jigzee's current caretakers say:
Meet Jigzee. She's a one-year-old Dobie Mix and weighs 48 pounds. This shy girl needs time to warm up to you but once she does, she's a total goofball. She loves baths, is a great listener, and let's you know when it's potty time. She's not a fan of being crated but does well when left alone for a few hours. If you want a loving dog that cuddles with you on the couch, she's your girl!
