My name is Zip!

Meet Zip & Zap

Zip and Zap are a bonded pair of 2.5-year-old cattle dogs who are inseparable. You'll never find one without the other—they truly are the best of friends. Both have a strong herding instinct and love to explore their surroundings, making them the ideal companions for an active family.

Zip is the larger of the two, weighing in at 45lbs with a bright coat and a heart full of affection. He's got a great temperament and bonds quickly with people. Zip loves attention and might get a little jealous when his sister gets some love, but he's never aggressive—just eager to share the affection.

Zap, the 38lb female, is a beautiful dog with a unique double mask and a story to tell. After chewing on an electrical cable as a pup, her front teeth fused together, giving her a one-of-a-kind smile. She’s also got a couple of small scars from the incident that serve as reminders of her resilience. Despite her past, Zap is quick, intelligent, and just as affectionate as her brother.

Zip and Zap are friendly with other dogs, however we are recommending that they be the only household pets, mainly because of their strong bond with each other. They are gentle and friendly enough to be in a home with kids who can properly respect their space, as with any dog.

Both dogs were surrendered together and narrowly escaped euthanasia in a San Antonio shelter due to overcrowding. Now, they’re ready to find a forever home where they can share their love, loyalty, and zest for life.

If you’re looking for a pair of devoted companions who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Zip and Zap are the perfect match.
