Adopt a Pet from Mutt Life!Looking to add a furry friend to your family? At Mutt Life Rescue of Wisconsin, we have loving pets waiting for their forever homes. Explore our adoptable animals and find your perfect match today!For the latest updates on the mutts, follow us on Facebook: @muttlifewiVisit our website: Muttlife.org__________Meet Zuko!Zuko is one of the puppies from the Grease Litter who made his way from Georgia to Wisconsin, and this little guy is ready to start his next chapter.Zuko is a sweet and playful Boxer/Plott Hound mix (our best guess) with an adorable brindle coat, floppy ears, and plenty of puppy charm. After being found as a stray, he now gets to enjoy the things every puppy should have: a safe home, lots of love, playtime, and a family to call his own.Zuko is curious, friendly, and playful. He enjoys being around other dogs and is always ready for a little puppy adventure. Whether he is chasing a toy, wrestling with his puppy friends, or settling down for a nap, Zuko is sure to keep his family smiling.At this age, Zuko is still learning all of his puppy basics. His new family should be prepared to continue working on potty training, crate training, leash manners, basic obedience, and socialization. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he will have everything he needs to grow into a happy and well-mannered adult dog.Zuko does well with other dogs and kids. His experience with cats is unknown, so careful introductions would be important if his new home has cats.Zuko made it safely to Wisconsin and is settling nicely into his foster home. He may have started life as a stray, but his future can be anything but uncertain. He is ready for puppy adventures, belly rubs, squeaky toys, and most importantly, a family who will love him for life.From his foster: More on the reserved side, enjoys cuddles to fall asleep and knows sit.
