My story

Meet ZZ Your New Shadow, Snuggle Buddy & Zoomie Champion.ZZ is pure love and enthusiasm. This dark brindle sweetheart is a certified Velcro dog if theres hugging, cuddling, or affection happening, ZZ will not be left out. He will happily squeeze himself right into the middle to make sure hes included.ZZ is incredibly affectionate, expressive, and loving, but hes also looking for an experienced dog owner whos excited to keep up with his training. He responds very well to structure and guidance and actually loves to work. Training time = bonding time in ZZs book!He adores people and makes friends easily sometimes a little too enthusiastically. When new people come into the house, ZZ gets very excited (he just loves you already!), but hes learning how to calm himself and improve his greetings with consistency and patience.ZZ is obsessed with food in the best way. Lick mats, puzzles, treats hes grateful for all of it. After a good game of tug-of-war or a big dose of affection, hell often break into the cutest zoomies youve ever seen. During cuddle sessions, he may gently nibble ears in the sweetest way consider it a warning to protect your ears while snuggling!ZZ does well with other dogs with proper introductions, especially respectful pups. He would do best in a home with a yard and without cats. Apartment life isnt ideal for this playful guy.If youre looking for a loyal sidekick who will follow you everywhere, work hard, love harder, and keep you laughing, ZZ is ready to wiggle his way into your heart and your home!
