Story
Zac is a 1 year old Airedale terrier mix who weighs 55lbs. He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, on flea/tick/HW preventative, and dewormed. While he is blind (which doesn't slow him down, don't miss the video of him playing with one of our other adoptable dogs), he is completely healthy otherwise.
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 in his foster home, but (like most pups) will need a refresher course on training when he moves into a permanent home.
Zac is fantastic with other dogs and has been social with respectful, calm kids. He enjoys trips with his doggy foster siblings to coffee shops, Huntington Beach, and Home Depot. He's also been participating in pack walks with a local trainer and is doing amazing! He enjoys puzzle toys, lick mats, and chew bones.
He is a VERY sweet boy, but he 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 that can be his "seeing eye dog," so he needs a home with another pup. Like most dogs, he also does much better when he's on a schedule and has a routine he can rely on!
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 needs someone who wants to work to build the incredible bond we know he will have with his furever person. As he learns to trust you, the relationship you will develop with him will be unmatched. He is SO worth it!
If you are interested in being Zac's family, please fill out an application on our website! Otherwise, if you can please spread the word about him, we’d be so grateful.
