My story

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

Meet Zubair! He was surrendered to the shelter on 12/10 and has been a very resilient sweetheart. His owner noted him to be super friendly and fully house broken. Since arriving to the shelter, Zubair has shown us that just because he's a senior does not mean he's ready to slow down and stop having fun! He's still got plenty of energy and loves getting out for walks with staff and volunteers.

Behavior Notes:
per volunteer 12/22: I took zubair out yesterday for a walk. What a sweet boy, he does not jump at all! Walks so nice on leash. I found it best to open palm treats or he did awesome with catching . He loved pets and back scratches.

Zubair's walksheet as of 12/13:
12/12- No issues reported except for slight issues with jumpiness. Medium energy. Handlers commented: "Interested in other dogs. Housetrained."

12/13 - No issues reported except for slight issues on leash.

Volunteer's notes to staff 12/13: Overall said Zubair was a wild old man with lots of energy and is a bull in a china shop. he was sweet with her but can be a lot of energy
