Zilla

My story

Meet Zilla, a sweet and spunky soul looking for a special home to call her own. Could that be with you or someone you know? Zilla was adopted at just 6 weeks old by a single man in a house with a spacious backyard. Zilla was the best companion his dad could ask for! He loved snuggles, time out in the yard, going for leisure walks, and splashing around in water during the warmer months. Unfortunately, last spring, Zilla’s dad passed away, and with no one to care for Zilla, Anderson Humane stepped up to find another loving home for Zilla to continue his days. Zilla and his dad spent all their time together, so he did not develop coping skills for being left alone. Zilla has demonstrated behaviors in foster homes that align with separation anxiety. This means that Zilla panics if he cannot access his safe person of people. Zilla cannot be left alone, and he becomes more stressed if he is in a crate or behind a closed door. Zilla is looking for a special home that can accommodate his needs, and help his work through his challenges when left alone. Ideally, Zilla would do best with a family who stays more at home, someone who works from home can use pet sitters/dog walkers, and/or has strong support from family and friends to watch Zilla if need be. Zilla does well with children, and cats, is housetrained, and knows his basic cues! Zilla needs to be the only dog in the house but could make the occasional canine friend. Zilla loves to play fetch, play with dog puzzles of squeaky toys, and loves getting pets from people, even the Mailman! The Training team is able to offer management training and support for Zilla while he adapts to his next home. Additionally, we have resources to help find a qualified behavior consultant to help you and Zilla! Could you help us find Zilla his next home? Zilla is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start! To schedule an appointment to meet Zilla, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Zilla , please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
