Ziggy

Collie · Male

Ziggy is a fun, affectionate dog who loves exploring the world around him and taking in every interesting scent on his walks. He enjoys spending time with his favourite people, happily seeking out fuss and reassurance once he has had the chance to get to know them. Clever and highly food motivated, Ziggy already knows cues such as sit, down and both paws, making him a rewarding companion to continue training with. He also enjoys soft toys, entertaining himself with carrying and chewing them, and has a playful, enthusiastic nature that shines through when he feels relaxed. Ziggy would love a patient home where he can settle in at his own pace and build strong bonds with his new family. He is happiest exploring quieter walking areas and would benefit from ongoing positive training around other dogs, as he can become frustrated when seeing them on lead. He is looking for a home as the only dog, although he has shown potential to enjoy suitable canine friends following careful introductions and continued socialisation. With the right home, Ziggy is sure to become a loyal, loving companion who will make every day brighter. Ready to adopt? Donate Can't adopt? Please donate to help pets in need today.

About Ziggy

What life with Ziggy looks like

Ziggy is a adult collie dog waiting at Bath Cats and Dogs Home in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ziggy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ziggy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bath Cats and Dogs Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ziggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ziggy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bath Cats and Dogs Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ziggy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ziggy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Bath Cats and Dogs Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ziggy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
