My story

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

Adorable scruffy Zac is looking for a home in the Orange County area through Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue! Can you help us find his home in time for him to ring in the New Year with a furever family?

Zac is a 10 month old Airedale terrier mix who weighs 45lbs. He may grow to be up to 65lbs. He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, on flea/tick/HW preventative, and dewormed. He is potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, sleeps through the night in his crate, and can be left alone for up to 3 hours at a time right now in his foster home, but will need a refresher course when he moves into a permanent home.

He is a VERY sweet boy, but he is shy and will need a patient home that wants to help him succeed and build his confidence. He is much more confident with a friendly dog around, so he needs a home with another pup his size or larger. Like most dogs, he also does much better when he's on a schedule and has a routine he can rely on!

This cutie is essentially still just a baby, so he does have energy to spare. He would appreciate a home that is active and can ensure he gets enough exercise (both physical and mental).

Zac is fantastic with other dogs (he LOVES to play!), has been social with respectful, calm kids. He likes to take in his surroundings and has enjoyed trips with his doggy foster siblings to coffee shops, Huntington Beach, and Home Depot.

Because he will sometimes bark loudly when he wants to play or gets afraid, we are recommending him to families who have a house vs. an apartment/townhome just so that there aren’t complaints from neighbors. He does respond to correction when you tell him “no.”

Zac is a sensitive boy, and we are anticipating his transition into his furever home will be an adjustment for him, so he will need someone who can be patient with him and wants to work to build the incredible bond we know he will have with his furever person. It may not be love at first sight with this boy, but as he learns to trust you, the relationship you will develop with this boy will be unmatched.

If you are interested in changing Zac's life for the better, please fill out an application on our website! Someone is going to be extremely lucky to make this guy part of their family.

More about this rescue

Launched in 2021, Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue is a Newport Beach-based 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. We are entirely foster-based and are no-kill. Our mission is to help as many homeless dogs and cats as possible find loving and compassionate adoptive families.

We accomplish this by being good stewards of donations, inspiring dedicated volunteers and fosters, providing education on responsible pet ownership, and being advocates for each animal that comes under our care. Our goal is to make a positive impact in the lives of as many animals as we can.

Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue is named in honor of our founder's late dog, Diamond. She was a fantastic foster sister to numerous dogs and was a friend to every animal she met. It is our hope that many more animals in need will get to be one of Diamond's friends.
