Notes from Rescue Ranch

Zippy is a gentle, dog-friendly pup who was rescued alongside Fables and Slick . While his former buddies have found their forever homes, Zippy is now ready to shine. He is a shy, timid boy who needs a patient handler and a resident dog to help him blossom and gain confidence.

Meet Zippy!

About Zippy Zippy is a sweet, sensitive soul with a heart of gold. Picked up on A12 with his two buddies, Fables and Slick, Zippy is the last of the trio ready to find his perfect forever family. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, but people can still make him a little skittish.

A Canine Companion: He would do best in a home with another confident dog to show him the ropes.

A Patient Leader: He needs an understanding handler who will act as a strong, calm leader, helping him build his confidence over time.

Lots of Reassurance: Because he is shy, he needs a family willing to go at his pace and shower him with the positive reinforcement he craves.

Working on His Skills Zippy is currently working on his leash manners. While he is getting used to it, he is still learning the ropes and appreciates a gentle hand to guide him.

If you are a patient, dog-savvy owner who can provide the safe, structured environment this sweet boy needs, you might just be the family Zippy has been waiting for.

Thank you for considering adopting a Rescue Ranch dog. While they are with us, each and every rescue dog receives the best of care in a loving and nurturing environment. Their routines include daily playgroups or partnering with dog buddies, quality time walking or being groomed, and two meals a day with dog biscuits for dessert.
