My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Zenzo has had a tumultuous start to his life. He had been rehomed by his original owner for reasons unknown, only to find himself in the care of an owner with a history of mental health and drug issues. Tragically, his new owner was found deceased in an apartment alongside Zenzo. Despite the challenges he's faced, Zenzo's spirit remains strong, but he’s also exhibited signs of fear, anxiety, stress, and resource guarding.

The shelter placed him on a dedicated training plan to help him overcome these challenges. He has become a little more comfortable with his new environment and has mastered commands like sit, paw, and down. He also has great leash manners. He has no interest in strangers or other animals. He may initially show some apprehension in new environments and around new people, but that is not uncommon in the breed. As such, he needs a NEO-EXPERIENCED adopter only.
