NBR received a call about this senior boy.  We were told by the shelter that Ziggy would just lay in his cage.  One of his eyes seemed extremely irritated and cloudy and needed medical attention immediately.  They said it looked like he finally gave up and was just waiting his turn…waiting for the worst.

We contacted a foster home that was willing to take Ziggy immediately, however, within 24 hours Ziggy was let down once again.  They too had second thoughts and expressed concern that they would not have “the time” to give to this sweet senior boy… However, all hope was not lost due to a wonderful volunteer that stepped up.  She saw his picture and could not bear having him spend another moment in a dark concrete cage.

Ziggy is lean and leggy.  He has that "special senior something" about him.  He is gentle on lead, rode like a champ in the car and met his 3 yr old NBR spoiled foster sister and 2 cat-siblings without much incident (he made it be known he doesn't want to share his meals with the cat, who is used to cleaning up after sloppy dogs).  Our gentle giant submitted to a bath, which he seemed to like. ..after the "shelter" he needed one.
