About Zayden

Meet Zayden, affectionately known as "potato." This 2-year-old boy, a delightful mix of Australian Shepherd and Poodle, is around 16 pounds of pure sweetness. Zayden faces some challenges with hearing and vision, having peripheral vision in one eye and being hearing impaired, but that doesn't slow him down. He enjoys exploring the backyard, although he requires a fenced area to keep him safe and secure. Zayden's perfect day includes snuggling up cozy and taking long naps. Despite his impairments, he is a gentle soul, showcasing no aggression at all. He's currently working on potty training and isn't crate trained, preferring to be alongside his people. His foster parents note that he is an easygoing companion who responds well to redirection and benefits from interactive toys like lick mats or Kongs to keep him entertained. While he gets along well with other dogs and is kind-hearted towards cats, he may take some time to warm up to new friends. Zayden truly deserves a loving forever home where he can thrive. Could that home be yours? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
