Story
Meet Zero
After everything Zero has been through, this incredibly deserving boy is finally ready for his next chapter—and we cannot wait to see him spoiled rotten by a family of his very own.
Zero is approximately 4 years old and currently weighs 56 pounds. He is calm, affectionate, easygoing, and the definition of a Velcro dog.
If you’re looking for a dog who genuinely seems grateful for every meal, every cuddle, every car ride, every couch nap, and every ounce of love he receives, Zero may be your guy.
He wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing and will happily follow you from room to room. Apparently, going to the bathroom alone is no longer something his future family needs to worry about.
Zero loves people, loves children, and is dog and cat friendly. He also seems to have a special soft spot for men. Give Zero a guy to hang out with and there’s a pretty good chance he just found his new best friend.

Zero’s Story
Zero came into our rescue completely starved and emaciated, weighing only 37 pounds.
Every bone in his body was visible. You could feel every vertebrae along his spine, and his hind end was covered in large, open pressure sores because there was simply no cushion left on his body.
We will probably never know everything Zero experienced before coming to us, but we do know that the months leading up to his rescue were anything but kind.
And somehow, despite everything humans had failed him on, Zero still loved people.
He never stopped wanting affection.
He never stopped wanting to be close.
He never stopped trusting.
Watching this dog come back to life has been incredibly rewarding.
Today, Zero weighs 56 pounds. His wounds are healed, his body continues to get stronger, and his personality is blossoming more every day.
For probably the first time in a very long time, Zero gets to simply be a dog.
Now he needs the family who gets to finish this journey with him.
Zero absolutely loves spending time outside—running around, sniffing, exploring, and enjoying the freedom he probably didn’t have before. Because of this, we would prefer a family with a fully fenced yard where he can safely enjoy one of his favorite things.
Foster-to-Adopt and Medical Information
Zero is currently heartworm positive and will begin heartworm treatment in October. His neuter is scheduled for this month.
Perfect Pet Adoption Center Inc. will cover the cost of his heartworm treatment.
Until his remaining medical care is completed, Zero will remain legally under Perfect Pet Adoption Center Inc. through our Foster-to-Adopt program.
You provide the home.
You provide the love.
We’ll continue getting Zero through the medical care he needs.
Zero doesn’t ask for much. He just wants to belong to somebody.
After everything this dog has survived, we desperately want the next chapter of his life to be the one where he never has to wonder whether he is loved again.
He deserves a family who will love him just as hard as he loves them—and spoil him rotten for the rest of his life.
