After spending her early years in a puppy mill, Zuzu is undergoing an incredible transformation and learning all about the pleasures life has to offer outside a cage. She never before experienced the comfort of grass beneath her paws or the gentle kindness of human affection, but she’s now eagerly welcoming every snuggle and belly rub you give. Zuzu is making great progress learning from her furry foster siblings about going potty outside, but she is already a pro at using pee pads indoors. When it’s cuddle time on the couch, Zuzu truly shines—she'll curl up on your lap for hours, soaking up the adoration. Her shy and timid beginnings are giving way to a blossoming, curious personality that lights up the room, especially at dinner time, where she enjoys her meal without pestering you for yours!

If Zuzu's new home doesn't have a fenced yard, she'll need some leash training to safely explore the world with you. Currently fostered in Libertyville, Illinois, Zuzu comes spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations, and microchipped—a sweetheart who's ready for her forever family! Her adoption fee is $550.
