Meet Zip—a 1-year-old neutered male cattle dog mix with a tender heart and a timid spirit. This sweet boy is naturally shy and still learning that the world can be a safe and comforting place. New people, new sounds, and new environments can feel overwhelming for him, so he needs someone who will move at his pace and offer patience, reassurance, and calm guidance.
Once Zip feels safe, you’ll start to see the soft, loyal personality underneath his nerves. With a gentle approach and steady routine, he has so much potential to blossom into a loving, devoted companion.
If you’re someone who understands shy dogs and finds joy in helping them come out of their shell, Zip is waiting for you. With time and kindness, he’ll show you just how special he truly is.
