My story

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

Is this dude foxy or what? Meet Zorro, a handsome 13-year old, 9-pound Chihuahua mix who looks like more like a young fox than a senior dog!

Housebroken and good on a leash, Zorro does all his business outside, even in inclement weather which he clearly does not like. If you expect him to brave the elements, this proper prince will look to you to dress him in a rain coat and/or booties! And you’ll never see anything cuter!

With an energy level on the lower side, Zorro has playful moments throughout the day, but overall, is pretty chill. Naps? He absolutely loves ‘em! Zorro has a few toys that he likes, but loses interest after a few minutes. Food is this guy’s first love! If you’re eating it, he wants a taste. If he can’t get you to share, he’ll lick up your crumbs. No need for a dust buster with this furry vacuum cleaner nearby! Your floors will always be clean!

Zorro is okay with other respectful dogs, but would prefer not to share his space/home with them. Cats, no thank you. Kids, nah, too unpredictable. Zorro tends to latch on to one specific human and will give that person 150% of his love and devotion. That person will be the sweet soul who’ll be Zorro’s cuddle-buddy, his snuggle-mate, his couch companion, his petting partner, and his loving, loyal, best friend for life.

Zorro has certain anxieties about having his food, his people, or his possessions threatened or taken away. Reactive and barky, he has been working hard at curbing these guarding behaviors, which, once you become familiar with them, are fairly easy to predict and/or avoid. As such, Zorro would benefit from a calm, quiet, adult-only home where his quirks could be well-managed, thus allowing his true inner self to sparkle and shine.

Capable of listening and learning, Zorro has mastery of several commands including sit, lie down, stay/wait, look at me, and come. He also travels like a pro. He looovvves car rides!

This fella is as deserving as the next. Zorro just needs the right environment to relax, thrive, and show you what a good boy he can be! C’mon, how can ya resist this orange-colored peanut?

More about this rescue

PupStarz Rescue is an animal welfare group committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs and cats in public shelters at high risk of euthanasia, as well as those in danger of abuse. We are committed to rescuing as many animals as possible, saving over 2,600 dogs and cats since 2015.

PupStarz Rescue is a foster-based rescue, relying on fosters to open their homes and lives to our Animals. Animals in our care receive proper medical care, including alteration, vaccinations, and microchipping.

Following a thorough screening, our animals are placed in loving, responsible, committed forever homes. PupStarz Rescue ensures that adoptions are an appropriate match for both the animal and their new family by educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a furry companion into their lives.

We are committed to the welfare of our "Starz" beyond the adoption process. We maintain open communication with our adopters to ensure a smooth transition, and offer additional support such as positive training techniques.

Founded in 2015, PupStarz Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3, no-kill, animal rescue organization.
