Zazu

My story

Meet Zazu, a sweet ~5 year old neutered male chihuahua/small terrier mix, weighing about 15 lbs! Zazu was picked up as a stray by animal control in East TN. This poor boy was neglected, his nails were curled and growing INTO his paw pads Thankfully, we were able to get him out of that situation and he has received lots of extra TLC. Zazu has been flourishing in his foster home and he is now ready to find his furever family!  Zazu can be a little timid at first, but he warms up quickly. He is a mellow, lower energy dog who is content to nap on the couch for a good part of the day, and he loves to burrow under the blankets! He is low maintenance and easy, and he really doesn't require much to be happy.  He is good with other dogs, bur he prefers dogs that are a similar energy level (he does not appreciate rambunctious puppies in his face). He has not been cat tested, but we feel he would probably do fine with cats. We recommend older kids 8+ who know to respect a dog's space.  From Zazu's current foster:  "Zazu is the best little guy. We call him the old man in the house because he truly just wants to curl up in his crate or on the couch. He does love to play and has some pep. He has no problem living with my dogs but he doesn’t play with them. He is not a fan of my foster puppy. So a house with dogs that will bother him is not ideal. He is fully potty trained and crate trained. He loves to take walks and walks great on a leash. He is vocal when he wants something which I just love. He loves to eat and will do spins because he is so excited. He loves people and kids. He is just a joy to have. He could be a keeper if I didn’t have three dogs he is so easy and I just love his personality." He is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained.

As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##2443155##
