Meet Zuca! The biggest couch potato around! He is a 6 year old podenco mix that was found stranded in the woods before being rescued by Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. Since arriving at Fast Friends he has acquired the loving nickname of "Zucchini". He is a calm, loving dog that enjoys a good nap but also loves to play. When Zuca is in a playful mood he runs as fast as he can, then proceeds to flop on the ground and patiently wait for his belly rubs. Zuca can be quite shy around new people, but once he gets to know them he is the sweetest boy. Overall he has good leash manners and enjoys going on leisurely stalls with the occasional break for pets. He is a little leash reactive toward unfamiliar dogs and will bark at them when he is feeling overwhelmed. Zuca does good with other dogs but can be a little picky about making friends and requires a slow introduction. He would thrive in a low to moderately active home. If you are looking for a cuddle buddy that also likes to play, Zuca may be the right fit for you.
* Fast Friends adopts in the New England area. If you are interested in Zuca or one of our other available dogs, please complete an adoption application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt
