Zazu

My story

My foster writes: Zazu absolutely loves to cuddle and be around her people! She is a gentle giant and is even good with kids! She's smart and picks up commands easily (she already knows sit, shake, and she's picked up wait and take it for her food very quickly).

Plus she's a loose leash queen under most circumstances.Meet Zazu - Your New Cuddle Companion!Zazu was brought to us by officers at the 116th precinct after she was found abandoned in Queens. Despite her rough start, Zazu has been nothing but gentle, wiggly, and ready for love.My ideal home:Zazu is a senior sweetheart looking for a calm, loving home where she can snooze in sunny spots, enjoy leisurely strolls, and be spoiled with affection. Her medical history means she'll thrive with an adopter who can continue regular vet care and provide a soft bed to rest her healing tail.Good with Kids?Zazu is gentle, social, and tolerant of handling-traits that could make her a great match for a family with respectful kids. As always, a meet-and-greet is recommended.Good with other dogs?Zazu has shown mixed responses with other dogs in shelter playgroups and seems more comfortable avoiding confrontation. A solo-pet household or slow introductions at home would be best.Leash Manners:She walks politely with minimal pulling and happily follows her handler's lead.

She seeks out attention and loves her walks.One fun fact:Zazu may be a senior, but she greets you at the kennel with the enthusiasm of a puppy-tail wagging, big smile, and a bark that says, "Let's go already!"Adoption Fee: $75Senior pets like Zazu are full of love and gratitude-come meet her today and see how much joy an older dog can bring to your life.
