About Zuri

Zuri is a two-month-old mixed breed puppy with a short, soft brown coat—imagine a teddy bear in dog form. Her start in life was tough, but now she lives in the moment, thriving on play, cuddles, and any kind of attention her foster family has to offer. Zuri loves being around people and has a naturally confident, affectionate streak. She can make anyone laugh with her goofy puppy energy, then curl up for a well-earned nap. She gets along with other dogs, cats, and is a good match for homes with children who understand the wild, wonderful reality of puppies. Adopting Zuri means tackling training, housebreaking, and a healthy dose of patience—she isn’t house trained yet, and she’ll need consistency to shape her manners. But for a family willing to invest in her, she’ll be an endlessly rewarding companion. Zuri is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for her next chapter. She’s located in Gulfport, MS, but can be transported to approved adopters in the Northeast (except Rhode Island). Born under Pisces, she’s bound to bring a sensitive, loving spirit to any home.
