Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Handsome boy seeking fresh start and love! ZOLTAN NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Zoltan Best Guess for Breed: Boxer and cattle dog mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years 7 months as of July 2024 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 45 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! He LOVES dogs and people. He hasn't been seen specifically with kids or cats but can be tested Currently Living at: Texas shelter; needs a foster or adopter in the DC area to get her freedom flight here. Special adoption considerations: Zoltan is in a Texas shelter that has very, very limited access to vet services. For that reason, he has not yet been neutered. The shelter aims to alter all their dogs but it might take a while. If Zoltan is adopted before he is altered, his adopter will need to make arrangements to have him altered within a month of his arrival in the DC area. All about Zoltan: Zoltan is one of over a thousand animals in a shelter so far south in Texas that it's less than 30 miles from the border. He has very little chance of being adopted there - but he is so great that shelter staff want to highlight him in the hope he gets an adopter from out of state. He is a happy, social dog who is great with everyone. In playgroup with other dogs, he's good with them all but seems to have a little bit of a preference for the ladies. Zoltan is just such a good and happy dog. He is all you imagine a dog could be. He wants nothing more than to be right there by his humans on long sniffy walks, world exploration, and chill sessions on the couch after a fun day together. He will also put a smile on your face if you see him running around joyfully with other dogs when you take him to the park or to doggie daycare. He would also be a fantastic addition to a household with other dogs seeking a playmate - especially if you have a female who likes the gents!Most of all, he wants to know he's safe and loved and under his own roof. Look at that face. Can you see yourself looking down at him staring at you ready to burst forth and start a new day together - trotting alongside you - curled up at your feet after a fun day?Notes from the Shelter: Zoltan’s adorable mushy face, chunky body, and incredible personality have made him one of my favorites at the shelter. That’s why it is sad that he continues to spend his days in the shelter since his arrival back in November 2022. With over 800 animals in care, Zoltan isn't getting the attention he deserves and spends most of his time confined to his kennel. I recently had the chance to spend more one-on-one time with Zoltan, which only further confirmed what a wonderful and loving dog he is. He has a great temperament, gets along beautifully with other dogs, loves splashing in the pool, enjoys back scratches, and absolutely adores the love and company of anyone who gives him attention, even kids! Zoltan weighs 42 lbs, is estimated to be around 2 years old, and a recent DNA test revealed that he’s a unique blend of 51.3% Boxer, 29.1% Australian Cattle Dog, 9.9% Super Mutt, and 9.7% Dachshund.With an adopter, Zoltan will finally have a chance to experience life outside of the shelter and know what it is like to have a loving family. What My Foster Says About Me: We'll update this if this pup lands in a foster home! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and transport from the shelter.
