Introducing Zay! Zay came to APA from the Austin Animal Center. He was an owner surrender at AAC because he kept trying to escape his owner's yard. The former owner kept Zay as a backyard only dog for ten years and did not neuter him. Zay was neutered at AAC, which should decrease his inclination to roam. Zay did not have an optimal home environment for ten long years, unfortunately. But that life is now over! Zay is now house-trained, leash-trained, and he knows "sit" and "shake." He's very treat-motivated, and he warms up quickly to new people if tasty treats are involved! Zay is heartworm positive, which will be fully treated by APA. At 80 pounds, Zay would do best with older kids, but he can be paired with a well-matched dog friend! Come meet this older gentleman today!
