Cutie

My story

 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     5M Old Sweet Cutie from Puerto Rico. Cutie is a perfect family dog.  From Cutie foster.  Meet Cutie! Cutie is a sweet cuddly boy who simply adores older children! He loves spending time with our twin 13 year-old and is happiest when he is with them! He also loves our dog and has gained confidence in exploring with him! During playtime with our dog, he is never aggressive and is always quick to submit. He is learning to play fetch and very much enjoys that! He is most happy when he is cuddling his human companions! He also has his playful times, typically after a walk when he does his zoomies and chases the ball around! He is doing very well with potty training! In the house if he has an accident, it is on a pee pad, but he has really improved at going outside over the past few days. When he came to our home, he was very fearful of steps, going up and coming down (we have 15 steps to enter our home). He confidently runs up the steps now, and we are working on coming down the steps which he will do a few at a time and then gets nervous. He is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who wants nothing more than to be loved! Crate training has been a challenge for us. We have given up on overnight crate training and have allowed him in our children’s bed. For crate training while away from the home/at work he gets a lot of anxiety when we leave the home and cries for long periods of time. He would do best in a situation where someone works from home or with a stay at home mom/dad with children. He has so much love to give, which is evident within five minutes of meeting him! He is one cuddly boy!           All dogs are located in NY/NJ areaAll our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there)Twitter: zanisff Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.   Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate! If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events.
