My story

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

Zak came back to Resilient Hearts due to a change of circumstances for his owner. We adore this beautiful boy who needs an adopter to help him trust the world a little more.

According to our current foster, Zak is an excellent boy in the house. He’s the most loving and cuddly dog she has ever met, is willing to chill and sleep while the humans work. He is crate trained, and has never had a potty incident inside the house. He has the best personality of any dog they've ever fostered. Zak really wants to please his humans. He loves to work on training and learn new tricks - he’s really smart and receptive! Basically he’s an awesome dog. His absolute favorite thing to do is go on walks and sniff all the smells.

Zak missed out on some early training. On the leash Zak has been reactive to bigger dogs (not aggression-based, purely excitement) and needs to be approached slowly by strangers. (this one is fear-based). We have been working on both of these and he's doing great.

Zak would probably thrive in a more rural suburban environment where encounters with others dogs is less frequent than crowded, urban neighborhoods. He is fine going to homes with other dogs if the chemistry is right. If you would like to meet this beautiful dog, please send us an email to meet this beautiful boy.

And please be patient. We have one adoption coordinator doing his best to coordinate adoptions for many pups.

WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ADOPT A PET INQUIRIES OR PHONE CALLS, ONLY EMAILS.

If you have any additional questions, or would like to adopt Zak, please send us an email at resilientheartsanimalsanctuary@gmail.com and we will send you an adopter survey. Please note that we are a foster to adopt only rescue. As a foster, you get to "test drive" your chosen dog to make sure it's a good fit prior to adoption. We want you and the dog to have the best fit possible!

Resilient Hearts is a 501(c)3 nonprofit animal rescue in Seattle, WA. 100% of adoption fees go towards helping us save more high-risk animals, and unite them with their forever families in the PNW!
