Name: Zoinks Age: 2 yrs Gender: Neutered Male Breed: Shepherd Blend Weight: 73 lbs Experience Level: 2 As his old pal Scooby would say — "Z-z-zoinks!" — this sweet boy came in a little spooked and unsure, with some nervous energy and barky behavior. But just like any good mystery, all it took was a little time, patience, and Scooby Snacks (okay, dog treats!) for Zoinks to start coming out of his shell. At first, he was cautious and a bit overwhelmed, especially in new environments. But with each day, Zoinks is starting to unmask his true self — a gentle, curious, and responsive pup who just needed a little help solving the mystery of trust. He recently joined the doggy playgroup with a muzzle on (just to be safe), but when it slipped off, he surprised us all by handling it like a total pro! He had mellow, friendly interactions with several doggos around his size, both boys and girls, and remained his charming self — sounds like a pup ready to join the gang, huh? Zoinks walks great on leash, loves spending time with his handler, and is very treat-motivated (Shaggy would approve). He's still working through some nerves, especially in high-sensory situations like vet visits, but with the right support, he shows a lot of promise. We think he'd do great in a calm home with humans (and maybe even dogs!) who give him the time and space he needs to feel safe. Just like Scooby-Doo needed his gang, Zoinks is looking for his own Mystery Inc. — a loyal family ready to go on life’s adventures, one Scooby Snack at a time. Ruh-roh... don’t miss out on this one!
