About Zydeco

Zydeco is a 1-year-old, 40 lb Border Collie/Shepherd mix looking for his forever home. This sweet and spunky boy came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. Full of energy and enthusiasm, he's ready to find a family that can keep up with his active lifestyle. Whether it’s hiking, running, or engaging in training sessions, Zydeco seeks a home that provides ample opportunities for physical and mental enrichment. In addition to being incredibly smart, Zydeco enjoys learning and will thrive with someone dedicated to his training. He does well with other dogs and enjoys playtime, though he can be a bit bossy. It’s essential that his future family help him develop his social skills and provide structured play with a dog that can match his energy. Zydeco walks well on a leash but can get excited, especially around squirrels, so he’ll need a confident handler. This athletic boy has great potential with the right owner who understands energetic, working-type dogs. If you’re seeking a playful adventure buddy, Zydeco just might be the perfect fit for you! Zydeco is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is sponsored, making him ready for you to take home without the cost!
