Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ZORRO is a 6 year old neutered black male Lab who weighs 52 pounds. Zorro is a very friendly boy whose tail never stops wagging! He loves attention and especially belly rubs :) Zorro is active and bouncy, more so than what you might expect for his age. Zorro is good with other dogs. Cats are unknown. Zorro comes from the country and has no exposure to big cities. Placement is limited to stand along single family homes in a suburban neighborhood or rural area. We have no history of Zorro living with children so he is approved for kids 10+.
Update: Zorro is such an easy foster. He has learned so much and adjusted easily to his foster's routine. This guy is a gem and his forever family will be very lucky. He loves people and other dogs, walks well using his harness, and crates like a dream. Zorro has proven he is a quick learner by mastering sit, come, and leave it. He really enjoys learning and I think he would love an obedience class where he could be learning alongside other dogs. When a mom and two girls stopped to pet Zorro on Saturday morning, he almost melted he was so contented. He loves walking in the woods and has quite the sniffer on him. At home, he just likes being with people. He has learned a little bit about "personal space" in his week with us but nothing makes him happier than cuddling up with his foster family to get loving. He has the most sleek black coat and everyone loves petting him.
Update: Zorro arrived at his Foster home and is quickly learning the rules of the house. He was glad to stretch his legs in the yard before the torrential rain arrived and then he spent the evening exploring the house and proving that he is a lap dog. He has been respectful of the baby gates that we know he could jump over and he has had no accidents, so he appears to be house trained. He goes right to the door when he needs to go out and comes right back when called. Sleeps well in his crate. He pulls a bit on the leash but does better with an EZ Walk harness. He is short on commands, but enjoys treats, so he should be a quick learner.
His frosted face makes him seem older than his years, but Zorro is a healthy, active guy. He has a beautiful black coat that is short and sleek, and he has great muscle tone. He is very playful and energetic but settles very easily in the house. He is at that perfect age and energy level where he can easily make the transition from doing his zoomies in the yard to cuddling on the couch.
From the transporter: Zorro was such a sweet boy. He jumped right in the crate and rode very well. A very nice dog!
