About Zoro

Start your journey together! Apply now. Meet Zoro, a sweet and energetic one-year-old eager to find his forever home. Weighing around 48 pounds, this handsome medium-sized pup sports a striking black and white short coat. Zoro has already mastered house and crate training, loving his crate especially at night even though he prefers to be where the action is! He might need a bit of encouragement to settle in, but once cozy, he’s content and sleeps soundly until morning. In his foster home, Zoro thrives among his canine companions and is always ready for a play session, especially with larger dogs like his husky friend. He’s known for his playful antics—especially his slithering “snake” move! Though he hasn’t met children or cats yet, he’s bursting with affection for people and becomes fast friends after an initial shimmy of shyness. When he’s not playing or exploring, Zoro loves a cuddle session with his favorite humans at the end of the day. Like most young pups, Zoro’s happiest when he gets a few energetic playtimes or walks each day. As he matures, he might enjoy longer strolls, but for now, he’s your ideal playful buddy. If you’re a Georgia local ready for a loving, playful addition, Zoro can’t wait to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
