My story

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

- Name: Zuko
- Age: Will be 2 years old in November
- Breed: Husky/German Shepherd Mix (Not DNA tested)
- Weight: 63 lbs
- Sex: Male, not neutered
- Vaccination Status:
- Rabies (Exp. 7/10/2027)
- DA2PPV 3-year (Exp. 7/10/2027)
- Lepto 1-year (Exp. 7/10/2025)
- Bordatella (Exp. 7/10/2025)

Zuko was rescued from the streets of Phoenix, AZ, in the summer of 2023 when he was estimated to be around 8 months old. After a brief stay with a foster home, we took him in. He showed some understanding of general commands, possibly from a previous home. We have had him for just over a year, and while he is a very good dog who loves deeply, he can become stressed in certain situations, particularly if he feels his personal space is being invaded.

Training Received:
Zuko has undergone extensive training with I.B. K9.

Reason for Rehoming:
We have decided to re-home Zuko due to two separate bite incidents: one adult, one child (can give details on the bite upon request)
