My personality

My story

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

This is Zito! Zito is a 10-year-old, male, Rat Terrier mix who weighs 15 lbs. This little man came to us after being picked up as a stray. Zito is a friendly, outgoing fellow who enjoys walks. He’s got a ton of pep in his step! He also enjoys sitting on volunteers’ laps and receiving gentle pets. Zito has exhibited some signs of resource guarding, especially when he gets overly excited around toys. He is also sometimes sensitive to being touched on his hind quarters. We did give him a bath and he did fine, though, so he is generally okay with being touched and even carried. Because of the resource guarding, Zito would do best in a home with adults and older, responsible children (12+) who understand dog body language. Zito lived with another dog, so he’d be open to meeting other canine friends if you have them in your home. He can also be cat tested. Apply for Zito at lvpeaceablekingdom.info!
