About Zuko

Meet Zuko, a sweet little Poodle who’s ready for a loving forever home! At about 3 years old and weighing around 13 pounds, he may be small but has so much love to offer. Zuko came to us from a partner hospital after being heartlessly abandoned on their steps. Initially matted and scared, he was unsure of the world around him, but we knew he deserved another chance. Since joining our care, Zuko has shown his true, affectionate nature. He takes a bit of time to warm up, but once he feels safe, he proves to be a loving companion. He's been doing remarkably well with people and has even made a bunch of doggy friends at the shelter. Zuko keeps his kennel clean, which is a great sign, and he’s ready for someone patient to show him that home can be a warm, welcoming place. His adoption fee is $450, and adopters must be at least 21 years old and live within an hour of our facility. Zuko is eager to leave his past behind and start a new chapter with a family who will cherish him. Could you be the one he's been waiting for?
