My personality

My story

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

Meet Zero!

A rambunctious almost two-year-old Bull Terrier currently living in El Cajon, CA, whose tricolor coat is as bold and unique as his personality. With a heart full of loyalty and an energetic spirit just waiting to shine, Zero is a loving pup who’s navigating the big world and learning where he fits in.

Zero is a high-energy companion who thrives on activity, especially when it involves water, a game of fetch, or a round of tug-of-war! He knows a few basic cues like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” and he's crate-trained and house-trained, great foundations to build on with a patient, positive reinforcement–focused caregiver. What he needs now is consistent companionship and a calm, structured environment where he can feel safe, secure, and supported.

Because Zero hasn’t had much socialization or enrichment early on, he’s still figuring out how to handle some parts of the world. He can be fearful of strangers, particularly men and children, and occasionally shows resource guarding behavior. He’s not aggressive, but he does need gentle guidance and someone who understands that progress takes time. A calm home without other pets, especially cats, would be the best match for this sensitive soul.

Zero is especially suited for someone who’s home often and can provide routine, clear communication, and reassurance. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply and gives his whole heart to his trusted person. While he may start off shy or cautious, give him the time and space he needs, and you’ll unlock an affectionate, goofy, water-loving buddy who will be your constant companion!

With his strong, playful nature and endearing loyalty, Zero is ready to bloom in the right hands. Could Zero be the companion you've been waiting for?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
