Pets in Need of Homes: Riggs (Brought to You by A Furry Tail Come True)

Riggs is looking for an active family who will give him the training and love he needs. Meet him at the Center for Animal Health and Welfare in Williams Township.

Riggs is looking for an active family who will give him the training and love he needs. He can be a little unruly at times, but is a sweetheart who only wants to please his owner. In his previous home he lived with other dogs but was food aggressive with them. When center staff tested him, he didn’t do that well with other dogs, however they feel that if he gets some training and socializing he will be fine. Older children will be best for him since he doesn’t have any manners and can be mouthy when he plays. Also, since Riggs has a very high prey drive he can’t live in a home with cats.
