My story

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

Meet Zoro, our adorable 4.5-month-old bundle of joy, ready to steal your heart! This little furball is a Rat/Fox Terrier mix, weighing in at a charming 19 pounds. Rescued along with five of his siblings, they all needed a bit of tender loving care, including baths and some extra attention to patches of missing fur on their feet. It's been heartwarming to see Zoro, alongside his brothers and sisters, blossom from scared little souls into playful, energetic companions.

Our furry friend is the largest of his litter of seven but happens to be the most reserved. Despite his initial shyness, Zoro has proven to be a quick learner, finding comfort and joy in running and playing with everyone around. Don't be surprised if you catch a glimpse of his unique black spot on his back, near his adorable tail - it looks just like an elephant's head, complete with the trunk. It's the kind of cuteness that's impossible to resist!

Zoro is still on the journey to becoming fully house-trained, but the progress has been remarkable. He's already crate trained, ensuring a safe and cozy space for him to rest. His size is just right for families with dogs ranging from 24 to 60 pounds, although he can be a bit cautious around larger furry friends. But fear not - he's a runner with boundless energy, always ready to play and burn off that exuberance.

Our pup Zoro is a mixture of independence and affection. He craves love but on his terms. Approach him with patience and kindness, and you'll witness the transformation from a skittish soul to a warm and loving companion. Zoro is good with kids of all ages, making him a fantastic addition to any family.

Help Zoro find a forever home where he can continue to learn about love, trust, and the joys of a safe, happy place.
