Notes from Animal Hope Pet Adoptions
Meet Zuko!
Sweet little Zuko is still waiting for his forever family! At about 3 years old and 13 pounds, this little guy may be small, but he has a heart full of love to give.
Zuko came to us from our partner hospital after someone sadly dumped him on their steps. When he arrived, he was completely matted and very scared of everyone. He was understandably unsure of the world around him, but thankfully, the hospital reached out to us and asked if we could bring Zuko into our program - and we were more than happy to give this little guy a chance.
Since coming into our care, Zuko has slowly started to show us the sweet boy underneath all that fear. He does wonderfully with people when you take things slow and give him a little time to feel comfortable. Once he realizes he's safe, he is such a sweet and loving little guy. He really hasn't given us any problems and has been doing so well!
Zuko also does great with other dogs! He enjoys having canine friends around and has been a wonderful little shelter guest. He even keeps his kennel clean, which is always a big plus!
All Zuko needs now is someone willing to be patient with him, give him the time he needs to trust, and show him what it means to finally have a family of his own. After everything he's been through, he deserves a soft place to land and someone who will never give up on him.
Zuko's adoption fee is $450.
Because we don't observe our animals in home settings, we aren't able to guarantee whether Zuko is housebroken.
Every animal receives upon intake:
Spay/neuter surgery Microchip All age-appropriate vaccinations Blood and fecal testing, with treatment if needed Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention A complimentary wellness exam 7-10 days after adoption
Adopters must be at least 21 years old and live within one hour of our facility.
Zuko is ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter of his life - with a forever family who will love him, protect him, and remind him every day that he is finally home.
Could you be the person Zuko has been waiting for?
