Meet Riggs – a well-mannered gentleman who's ready to find his new home! Riggs was recently returned to ACS due to his owner’s passing. Being back at the shelter after a year away has been causing him significant stress. When he came back to us, Riggs was found to be Heartworm positive (for the second time). He has already been treated and while Riggs is taking things easy while here at the Sanctuary, he can still go home with you today! He just needs a little downtime and limited physical activity until May 6th. Riggs did live with another dog in foster care, and they got along well, but he’s not too fond of cats. A feline free home is recommended; however, a calm dog buddy would be fine. Riggs himself is a calm, friendly, and affectionate companion dog who absolutely adores people. He has a gentle demeanor and is a very, very good boy! He is housetrained, loves being outside (would do great in an indoor/outdoor covered kennel), and walks wonderfully on a leash. Riggs is also working on crate training. He would thrive in a home with stay-at-home seniors or anyone looking for a peaceful companion. If you're looking for a loving, well-mannered dog to be your buddy, Riggs is your guy!
