Meet Zoro: the most majestic and goofy cuddle bug you've ever met! Everyone comments on how striking his eyes and mane are, but he's more than just a pretty face. A pack animal to the core, he loves to cuddle with his people and will make cute little husky sounds if he wants your attention. It's hard to ignore his puppy-dog eyes when he nudges your hand for pets but if you manage to hold out, he's able to be his own man and just sleep by your side or play with his toys while you're busy or away from the home.
Zoro is also very athletic! He's a great running buddy and will play fetch with you. He's intelligent and treat-motivated so he loves brief training sessions and already knows how to sit, lie down, and shake. Zoro tends to be suspicious of new people but it's amazing how quickly he becomes affectionate once he realizes you're just another friend who can give him some love.

Come set up a time to meet Zoro and learn what a fun and fluffy dog he is!
