My personality

My story

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

Meet Zed

Zed arrived at the shelter with his brother Zander, who was adopted. This hound mix (maybe beagle and others) is friendly with everyone!

Approximately 11 months old and about 35 pounds as of September 2024, Zed puts the “tri” in “tricolor.” He’s all puppy, ready to play. For a young dog who hasn’t had much training, he’s fairly calm on the leash. Zed likes to lie in the grass and has an endearing way of occasionally throwing himself to the ground during his walks so that he can get a good belly rub before continuing. (We're not sure why, but he's recently become fearful of the environment outside the shelter gate. We're confident that once he's acclimated to a new home and family, he'll become more adventurous again.)

Zed would do well with an active family who’s ready to give him lots of puppy training. He’ll reward them with love and companionship. We think he’ll learn fast in his forever home. A fenced in yard would be ideal. Older kids, please, because Zed's play style is too rough for little ones.

He's at a great age to be adopted--no more teething, but still full of puppy wiggles and fun.

Zed is up to date on vaccines and neutered.

More about this rescue

Save The Animals Rescue Team II (S.T.A.R.T. II), started in 1989, is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3 status organization dedicated to alleviating the plight of homeless and abandoned companion animals. Twice a week we visit a local pound and take as many adoptable animals as we can. These animals are provided veterinary care, clean living conditions, exercise and socialization.

We work with potential adopters to find that perfect match…..giving them a "fur"- ever home for life. In addition, we educate the public on the importance of spaying/neutering as well as offering low cost options, vaccinations, preventive medications, and proper living conditions for their new and existing pets.

This lifesaving work is critical for many of these unfortunate animals, since their only crime was to be born unwanted. Since our inception, we have rescued and placed over 7,000 dogs and cats.
