Meet Zeppelin! This sweet boy arrived to us severely emaciated, but even in his toughest moments, his spirit never dimmed. We’ve been working hard to help him gain weight, build strength, and get him back to the healthy, thriving dog he deserves to be — and he’s already showing us just how incredible he truly is. Zeppelin is a happy-go-lucky, lovable, and endlessly joyful dog. He’s the kind of pup who brings sunshine everywhere he goes. Whether he’s wagging his whole body with excitement or greeting you with his adorable vocals, he always finds a way to make you feel special. Zeppelin loves to “talk” and let you know he’s there — excited, ready for attention, and ready to be part of whatever’s happening. He’s truly the life of the party, full of personality and sweetness. Despite everything he’s been through, he gives nothing but love and positivity. With continued care, good food, and a family who will cherish him, Zeppelin is going to flourish into an even more amazing dog.
