My story

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

⚔️He is no masked warrior, but this Zorro is a handsome rascal who's after your heart nonetheless!
Zorro is a 3-year-old male terrier cross weighing 45 pounds. He answers to Sergeant Zorro, Sarg and Sergeant Scruffy 😉.
🐕With proper introductions, this pooch is doing great with his foster fur sibling and other dogs, but has taken issue with some overly dominant furry friends in the past. Careful introductions and supervision is key!
Zorro has not had proper interactions with children, but has done well when meeting them in public.
He is a perfect gentleman on leash, but can pull when interested in something!
☀️Play in the sun, have some fun, and then relax with you nearby is a perfect day for him! He is also mastering the game of fetch.
Zorro soaks up the love and is one sweet boy. He loves cuddles, pets, affection, curling up in front of the fire and snuggles under the covers if welcome. As a former LA resident, he seeks heat wherever he can, including snuggling up to the resident pooch!
❤This guy is not one to contain! He does wonderfully when left loose in the house and is not destructive, but he will not go into his crate. He loves to sleep on his bed and will even come onto your bed for a morning cuddle if he's allowed!
He is fully house trained. Zorro does show some marking behaviour when entering a new space but is receptive to correction.
🚨Of note: Zorro has a bad habit of sometimes getting laser focused on something. Things like a person or dog walking by or a strange noise he doesn't understand.
When he's in that "fixation zone" please note:
➡️He can get reactive and is very hard to distract.
➡️It is best to use a leash to pull him away, versus grabbing his collar, as he will snap with collar pull.
➡️He will bolt after something in this state.
Zorro has not been tested with cats or other small animals.
