Meet Ziggy the Senior

I'm currently on a sleepover with a PHS Volunteer! I'll be back at the shelter on 9/26. Hi everyone, I'm Ziggy! I'm a handsome 14 year old, neutered male Pit Bull Terrier and I weigh 44lbs. I'm a sweet boy that loves getting affection and cuddles. Don't let my age fool you though, I enjoy going on walks and can sometimes be a playful and silly guy, though at times I can be a bit wobbly and stairs might be a bit too tricky for me. I'm young at heart, but not so young in my bones! If you're looking for a sweet and gentle lad to fill your life with all the love and affection, look no further! Before officially going home with you, I would love to meet everyone in the household, including any resident dogs, so come on over and bring everyone! I'm so excited and ready to meet you all! Ziggy #A0941035 I recently went on a field trip with a PHS Volunteer! Here's how I did: Ziggy was an absolute gem to take on an outing. He loves going for walks. I took him to my car and he eagerly hopped in the backseat (although he needed a boost) and after some initial excitement whining, he quieted down and enjoyed the ride. He was very well behaved in the car; staying in the backseat without being secured. When getting out of the car, he does need a little assistance jumping down from the backseat. He enjoyed a leisurely walk on the Facebook promenade, stopping to relax in the shade, rolling on his back, itching some hard-to-reach places. He was very good with joggers and bicyclists passing by - only looking on with curiosity. When we returned to my car, he was thirsty, and drank a full bottle of water that I poured into a plastic dog bowl. Afterwards, he happily jumped into my car (again needing a boost) and quietly enjoyed the ride back to the adoption center. He is a lovely gentleman who is sweet and appreciative! He really likes chicken too:)
