My name is Zeven!

Meet Zeven, a shy boy ready to bloom! Zeven is a 1-year-old, 44-pound grey-and-white pup who’s looking for a patient and loving home to help him come out of his shell. While he’s been nervous in the shelter, Zeven has shown glimpses of his playful side once he starts feeling comfortable. With time and a calm, gentle approach, this sweet boy has begun to interact with staff and volunteers, and he’s ready to take baby steps toward trusting his future family!
Zevin seems to enjoy playtime, especially when it comes to chasing tennis balls! But he’s still learning to let loose and enjoy himself.
Zeven’s recent meet and greet with a fellow shelter pup showed promising signs! He was a bit cautious at first but as the meeting progressed, Zeven relaxed and he showed interest in engaging with the other dog, even running around a bit. With further introductions, Zeven may benefit from having a canine friend to help guide him toward becoming more confident and social!
Zeven is looking for a quiet, patient household with experienced adopters who can provide reassurance and encouragement as he learns to trust and thrive. With time, consistency, and love, Zeven will surely grow into a happy, confident companion. If you’re ready to help Zeven on his journey, he can’t wait to meet you!
