Meet the fabulous Zaylen! 🐾 This strikingly handsome 2-year-old German Shepherd weighs in at a solid 55 pounds of love and charm. Can we talk about that relaxed yet playful personality? Zaylen is the epitome of cool—he’s laid back, but you better believe he can bring the fun when it counts! 🎉 Now, Zaylen might start off a bit shy when meeting new faces and exploring new spaces, but don’t you worry! He warms up faster than a cozy cup of cocoa on a winter's day, transforming into your loyal and curious companion who just wants to be by your side. Whether he’s lounging on his bed or strutting his stuff during outdoor adventures, he’s all about that balance of play and chill. 🌳 He walks beautifully on a leash, loves car rides (the window-down, tongue-flapping kind 🥳), and, oh honey, he's house trained! He gets along splendidly with other dogs and has also shown that he can roll with elementary school kiddos like a pro. Zaylen is a gentle, devoted boy just waiting for the right loving home to call his own! But hold on, Zaylen also has something unique about him—a hypermetric gait in all four limbs, making his steps a little higher and more exaggerated. This characteristic is due to a congenital difference in his cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination. But don't you fret! This condition doesn’t impact his zest for life one bit. Zaylen is bright, responsive, and oh so engaging. His movement may look a tad different, but it’s simply part of what makes Zaylen so special! 🌟 Now, let’s get down to business: Zaylen is ready for his forever family, and only serious adopters need apply. Remember, this process is super important for all pets involved. When adopting, ensure your pets are up to date on their vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and on heartworm prevention if you have a dog. 🐕 So, if you’re ready to bring this charming fellow into your life, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App*! This sweet boy is waiting for you to share all the love he has to give. 🥰
