Ziggy was found on the streets in 2022, a young pup, deaf and alone. Over time he developed behavioural problems, became very anxious and snapping at the air for no reason. He has been thoroughly checked by vets and specialists, but no reasons have been found. Ziggy had settled so well with his foster family, and they love him and accept his behaviour, following vets and trainers advice, we felt it unfair to move Ziggy from this loving family, who happily agreed to give him his forever permanent foster home.



Ziggy is hoping 2025 may bring him a loving forever home. He has settled nicely with his foster family and knows the routine well. He remains cautious of people he doesn't know but does settle down and will say hello.

Ziggy is a big very loving boy, he is a deaf dog, stuck in a world of silence. He has striking eyes of different colours but his eyesight is fine. Ziggy loves to play with other dogs but he doesn't like cats. He is a big strong dog, weighing 33kg, he would need a home with a decent amount of secure outside space for him to play and explore. For these reasons we feel he would be best suited to a home without "young" children or cats. He would be best suited to a campo home as he doesn't cope well in busy environments.

He loves human company and would be a very loving loyal companion.
Ziggy is progressing well with understanding sign language but as he is deaf it's finding a way to get his attention in the first place without startling him.
His adopter would need to have patience and understanding of the needs of a deaf dog and be willing to work with Ziggy to enabe him to lprogress to his full potential and have the loving home he so deserves.
