Ziggy is almost 5yrs old, 60lbs, pitbull mix who is super sweet, lovable, playful & smart. He loves to go on hikes, or walks at the beach where he can play in the water. Loves to swim! He is house trained, doesn't chew on things that aren't his toys, he's a good boy! He doesn't like all dogs, or cats, it's best if he's the only pet in the house. He loves to run, so a home w/ a fenced yard would be nice for him to get exercise. He can sit, shake hands/paws and stay. He's a great adventure buddy, or lovable companion. Breaks my heart to have to give him up.
