ZUKI **IMMEDIATE FOSTER NEEDED**** Age: 6.5 years old Breed: Mixed - maybe boxer and hound? Weight: 56.2 lbs Good with: Some dogs, humans 13+ Zuki, short for “Zucchini,” was originally found in TN, not far from two other puppies who looked like her that had been shot. We never knew if she was related to those two other pups thar never made it into rescue. ? This sweet girl is a beautiful companion dog who is being returned to our rescue after six years, through no fault of her own and now needs immediate placement in a new adoptive home or foster family. She has been in a loving family home for the last 6 years, however we've determined a home with small children is not the ideal setting to meet her needs. Zuki often waits until everyone goes to bed to settle into her bed. She enjoys curling up on a rug to have a nice nap after playing outside or just hanging out with her people. She will lay down where you're working to keep you company. She loves going on walks or hikes on trails and smiles the most when she's outdoors getting exercise. Zuki does well on car rides (no issues with car sickness) and has been great on family trips to New Hampshire. She is happy to play with other dogs, however she does best when she can meet them in an outdoor setting off leash to get to know them. She can be nervous around smaller dogs. Zuki is smart and knows basic commands like sit, wait, come, or"up up" to jump onto the end of the bed or to jump into the back of a car. She is food motivated, so definitely appreciates treats as rewards. Zuki loves to play games like "find it", where you hide treats around the house or in the yard and she can sniff them out. Zuki gets nervous having her nails trimmed, does best when done by a professional (and with a Dremel). As a puppy, Zuki was skittish and barked when she got nervous, however while she still barks at large trucks (like trash trucks because of their high pitched brakes), she has become calmer with age and is an ideal companion for an adult household. She loves long walks and getting exercise which calms her down when she is nervous. Zuki’s ideal home would be a single person or couple who enjoys hiking and the outdoors and can provide regular exercises and enrichment. She can be in a home with another dog of a similar size for company and should meet that dog to ensure a good fit first.
