About Zurich

Zurich is on the lookout for a family ready to keep up with his energetic spirit. Imagine settling down for just a moment when this merle and white Aussie Poodle mix suddenly bursts into action, dashing around the yard with uncontainable joy. At just four months old and already neutered, this little dynamo is full of potential. Zurich was born on February 9th, 2026, and is currently learning agility skills while also mastering his role as a devoted companion. He's mostly crate trained and shows off his growing skills with commands like 'sit.' Zurich plays well with dogs of all sizes and does fine around men, but there’s a chance he could adjust to living with cats too. His love for toys and running is only matched by his enthusiastic affection for his person. One noteworthy aspect is that Zurich is either completely or mostly deaf. He thrives on visual cues and needs an adopter who is excited to invest time and patience into his training. He isn't a heavy barker but might vocalize if frustrated, and families with very small children should be mindful of his jumping. As footwork is still in progress, a yard or an active lifestyle is essential. The family that welcomes Zurich will enjoy every moment with this lively pup. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
