My name is
Zen!

Dog Name: Zen

Breed: Hound mix

Sex: Male

Age: 5ish months

Weight: 25ish lbs

Medical Needs: needs to be neutered. Has an appt at the SPCA in dover on 10/23- keeping this is a condition of adoption

Crate trained: yes! He does howl if he hears you get up without him but settles quickly

Good in the car: yes, he lays right in the back seat, but also sleeps in a crate if he’s in it

Good on a leash: we’re working on it! He’s either calm and great or bouncing around like a bunny

Energy level: PUPPY! He plays hard with his foster siblings, loves all toys especially the noisiest ones

Need a fenced in yard: would be preferred, he looooves to run

Dog Friendly: yes! He has three large foster siblings and LOVES them.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No- but I think he would THRIVE with another dog

Cat Friendly? He seemed interested but didn’t chase

Kid Friendly: Yes! He loves the kiddos, especially the littles that share food and let him lick their little hands

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Zen is the absolute sweetest boy, he loves getting love and giving love. He gives the best kisses. He’s mischievous in all of the funniest ways. He will keep you on your toes and keep you laughing. He is very smart and willing to learn, he already knows sit and shake. We are currently working on sitting and waiting before going inside/outside! He will definitely benefit from a house with structure and fun adventures!

He loves jumping up for the leaves on low hanging branches, laying out by the bonfire, licking mud off of foster dad’s demolition derby truck, attacking weeds in the yard, and staring at the neighbors as they back out of their driveways

Fosters Location: Ellendale
