Meet Zuko!
A spirited almost five-year-old German Shepherd mix from Reno, NV, whose heart is as big as his playful energy. Wrapped in a fawn-colored coat with a charming white blaze down his chest, this affectionate pup is always ready for adventure, snuggles, and a good old-fashioned game of tug-of-war. At just 25 pounds, he’s the perfect size for both lap cuddles and backyard zoomies!
Zuko thrives in a home where he can stretch his legs, whether that’s running around a fenced yard or going for a morning jog with his favorite person. He’s an intelligent pup who already knows sit, stay, lay down, touch, and is working hard on mastering “speak.” Puzzle toys that challenge his clever mind? He’s all in! And when he’s not showing off his smarts, he’s locked onto his favorite humans with an adoring gaze, waiting for the next adventure.
Friendly and affectionate, Zuko does well with kids and enjoys canine friendships once he’s had a chance to warm up. He’s a confident little guy but appreciates having space to adjust on his own terms—he’s not a fan of being cornered or overly restrained. With a patient and loving family, he’ll blossom into the most loyal companion. He’s crate-trained, fully up-to-date on vaccinations, and has no known health concerns—just a healthy, happy pup ready for his next big journey!
Zuko has an endearing routine—he enjoys morning and evening walks, self-regulates his food intake, and happily sleeps when the rest of the household settles in for the night. He does well when left alone for short periods, though he might let out a few barks if he feels a little anxious. When it comes to cats, he’s more on the shy side but not aggressive.
Zuko is looking for a family who understands that trust and companionship take time to build, but once he feels at home, he’ll be your most loyal and affectionate sidekick. Are you ready to welcome this spunky, smart, and loving pup into your life? Contact [email protected] to learn more!
