🌟 Meet the charming Zenith, affectionately known as Zen, Zenny, or the Zenmeister! This striking Australian Shepherd mix, around two years old and approximately 37 pounds, is not just a pretty face with striking blue eyes—he's a heart-stealer! This sweet and affectionate fellow adores making new friends and thrives on belly rubs and snuggles. Don’t let his size fool you; he’s a gentle giant who believes he’s a lap dog! If you’re lucky, you might catch him trying to curl up in your lap, proving that no matter how big he gets, he’s still all cuddles! 💖 Zen has had quite the journey; he was found sprinting across a busy road, and since then, he's been living the life in his foster home. His amazing foster lady took him in, but alas, she’s off to college! 💔 That means he’s ready to find his forever family! This cuddle bug is a total Velcro dog; if you’re in the kitchen, he’s right there; if you’re in the bathroom, so is he. His loving nature reflects his desire to be with his humans every step of the way! 🐶 Now, here’s a little twist: Zenith was born deaf. But don’t worry; he compensates beautifully! His sense of smell is impeccable, and while he might need a bit of leash guidance in new places, he’s working on buzz collar training like a champ. He would thrive with a family that’s home a lot, perhaps working from home or retired. Zen is not a fan of being cooped up for hours in a crate! When it comes to playtime, he’s the life of the party! He gets along splendidly with other dogs, especially his best friend Tigress, who lights the way for him. Whether it’s car rides or outdoor adventures, Zen is always eager for new experiences. Just a heads up, though: he may bark a little when you first leave him, so he’s not exactly cut out for apartment living. 🏡 Zen is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and in perfect health. Plus, he's got a unique fashion sense—his foster mom thinks he looks fabulous in pink! So, if you’re looking for a loyal companion, a belly rub enthusiast, and a furry friend for adventures, Zenith is your guy! ❤️ Don’t wait too long; this affectionate, lovable pup is ready to find his forever home. **Please apply through the Buddy App** to give Zenith a chance at a loving, happy life!
