Zuzu

At just 10 months old, Zuzu is the sweetest little guy with the soul of a wise old gentleman. If you didn't know his age, you'd swear he was 70! He's calm, gentle and happiest simply being close to his people.

Around the home, Zuzu is an absolute dream. He's content snoozing on his own bed (or yours if you'll let him!), and he adores his crate, happily retreating there whenever he feels overwhelmed or just wants a quiet nap in his own safe space.

Like many pups who missed out on important early life experiences, the big wide world can feel a little overwhelming for Zuzu. New environments and unfamiliar situations can be intimidating, so he's looking for a patient, understanding family who are happy to gently help him build his confidence. With kind guidance, continued training and plenty of encouragement, Zuzu is already showing that he's capable of blossoming into a wonderful companion.

Because other dogs can make him feel a little intimidated, Zuzu would be happiest as the only dog in the home where he doesn't have to share his people or worry about keeping up with a canine companion. He also enjoys a gentle pat and a good ear scratch from respectful children, but he'd be best suited to a home without live-in kids, where life is a little calmer and more predictable.

If you're home a lot, love quiet daily walks, have the dedication to training a new companion and are looking for a gentle, loyal shadow with an old soul and a heart full of love, Zuzu might just be your perfect match.
