Meet Zion!
Zion is a 40lb, 5-month-old large breed (most likely dane/hound mix). He was purchased as an 8-week-old puppy from a Walmart parking lot, for his owners to soon find out having a puppy was too much work.
Sweet Zion is a boy with a big personality who likes to party. He is usually seen wagging his tail, wiggling his entire body, and showing everyone how happy he is to be here. Since he is still a young boy, he still has some puppy mannerisms such as mouthiness and over-excitement around other dogs. In his previous home, he was crated for 20+ hours a day and never socialized properly. Zion would do well in a home with a larger role model dog that can correct his behaviors. He is getting used to living with cats in his foster home and is doing great at leaving them alone. He loves to be around his foster family but does extremely well in his crate when it is naptime and bedtime. He is extremely playful and would do great in an active household that can give him the exercise he needs.
Here is a list of some of Zion’s great qualities:
- Loves playing with dogs
- Is great with dogs of all sizes & temperaments
- Knows sit, down, shake, stay & come
- Walking on a leash
