Meet Ziggy! Ziggy is an adorable 10 week old (as of 11/18/2019) cattle dog, whippet, hound mix who is looking for his forever home. Ziggy is still working on his potty training so he will need someone home often. He is also still working on his socialization and basic manners so, as with all puppies, continued training is a must.

Hobbes, pit bull terrier mix

Hobbes is a male pit bull terrier puppy currently housed at Family Dogs New Life Shelter.

Hobbes loves other dogs and cats. He has been vaccinated.

Notes from Hobbes:

Sure, my past may not be all that comical…but I promise with a little TLC I will be all laughs and giggles in no time. Left on the streets as just a puppy is no way to grow up….To quote my best friend, Calvin “In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.” Let’s just say it’s a good thing we found rescue. I am ready for a family all my own, but I wouldn’t mind sharing my home with other dogs, cats, or respectful kids 5+ who understand how to treat me gently. I am a smart, playful, and energetic fella, but as you can imagine, I am feeling a little shy…some more socialization, some basic training, and lots of love…that’s the recipe to get this comic back on track.
