My story

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

Meet Zippy: Your New Best Friend!
If you’re looking for a dog that is "just right," look no further. Zippy is a stunning German Shepherd mix who clocks in at a perfect 45 lbs and stands 21 inches at the shoulder—big enough for a sturdy hike, but small enough to not take up the entire sofa.

Why You’ll Love Him:
The Entertainer: Zippy is a world-class athlete when it comes to squeaky toys. He loves to toss them high into the air and catch them himself! He’s also a dedicated fan of fetch.

The Travel Buddy: He rides like a total dream in the car. Whether it’s a trip to the coffee shop or a cross-country road trip, he’s ready to buckle up.

The Gentle Soul: Generally a quiet guy, Zippy saves his voice for the best parts of the day. You’ll get a signature "woo woo woo" greeting when he wakes up or when you walk through the front door.

The Shadow: He’s the ultimate companion. He’ll happily snooze at your feet while you work, but the moment you get up, he’s right there to follow you to the next adventure.

The Details:
Social Skills: Dog-friendly!

Leash Manners: He walks very well on a leash, though he’d appreciate a little "fine-tuning" as he learns your specific pace.

Garden Duty: Zippy takes his outdoor chores seriously—he likes to personally double-check that every tree and shrub in the yard is "sufficiently watered."

Brain Power: He already knows several basic commands and has those dazzling eyes that make it very hard to say no to one more treat.

Zippy is the perfect blend of playfulness and chill. He’s just waiting for a person to follow and a yard to patrol.

More about this rescue

We are a registered 501(c)(3) non- profit, charitable organization. Our mission is to rescue dogs from overcrowded and high kill shelters, and place them in loving homes. We also strive to educate the public on responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay/neuter, so that one day there will no longer be adoptable dogs, euthanized by the thousands in our shelters. We are an all volunteer organization. 100% of donations go directly to the care of the dogs.
