Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving on 3/28/25 to NorCal and OR. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Zack to our trip for the right home 💕
Meet Zack! He turned 1 year of age on 3/3/25. He is a Maltese/poodle mix. He weighs 11.64 lbs. Yes, he is full grown and at a very healthy weight. He definitely has more of the Maltese coat in look and texture. Yes, he is hypoallergenic so you won't have to worry about him shedding. He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, had a thourel exam with our vet, and has officially been cleared to find a home all his own.
He is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom as needed throughout the day when asked to. If he doesn't need to go outside, he simply will stay back. He gets asked to go potty every 3 hours or so, and with that schedule he rarely asks to be let out in between but when he does he will sit by the door patiently for you to open it for him.
He is not fond of the crate. We have attempted to condition him to it and while he isn't destructive in one, he just does not like being confined and will cry. He will gladly lay on a dog bed behind a gate that would section off a smaller area as it's a more open feel and he doesn't mind that one bit! He is also amazing in the house, so he doesn't need to be confined if you ask me. He currently sleeps on a dog bed under our bed 😂 he loves to be cozy in his little cave under there. I just believe he has learned that it's cooler and the morning sun doesn't get him under there!
He is leash trained, and really loved his walks! He is naturally social and really enjoys strolling around especially if he gets to greet friendly neighbors walking their dogs 💕
He is not a barker and is rather quiet. He makes a great friend, especially to a home where you are missing the love of a little companion. He is not needy by any means, and knows your day can get busy so he will find a bed to snooze on near by while you tend to other things. Trust me that he will always be ready for you once you are able to focus back on him! His little eyes light up, and you can feel the joy radiating from him knowing he is about to get some much needed daytime snuggles ☺️
He is amazing with other dogs, and cats alike! He would make anyone's home more complete, and lives happier than they have ever been so if you are wanting the love of a special friend, choose Zack!!!
He is amazing on road trips of any length, and loves days spent getting all dolled up with his groomer!!! He is just an absolute wonderful boy looking for a home all his own so if that's you please contact us today 🌸
His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/_zack
It covers all of his vet care. He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, and had two ear infections that had to be treated while with us that required having the hair plucked out of both ears, an antibiotic injection, an allergy injection, and antibiotics to go home that was applied to both ears. It also covers the care involved in the time he has been with us, his grooming costs, and his training we have personally done with him!
