About Zach

Meet Zach, an exceptional dog searching for a loving home. At around three years old, he’s been with Chi Town Rescue since August 2024, after being rescued from a hoarding case in Concho, Arizona. Initially fearful, he has made remarkable strides and now enjoys receiving affection from trusted volunteers, especially loving chin scratches. Zach thrives in playtime with other dogs, so he requires a home with at least one playful companion. His energy is infectious, and he has a fondness for toys and splashing around in a play pool. Zach will do best in a secure, fenced yard, as he is not yet leash-trained, and he needs an experienced owner familiar with fearful dogs. Unfortunately, this little guy will not be suitable for a home with small children. If you can provide a warm and understanding environment for this lovable pup, reach out to us at chitownrescue@gmail.com!
