Zuma, a charming little pup, comes from a litter of six rescued by PUP when their mother was abandoned. He is around 9 weeks old and currently weighs 9.1 lbs. His playful nature hints that he might grow into a medium-sized dog, likely a mix of German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd.

Socialization is key for puppies, and Zuma needs exposure to a variety of experiences and other dogs to build his confidence and skills. He thrives in environments full of excitement, from meeting people to exploring different sounds.

A required alteration procedure will be covered by the adoption fee if completed at the PUP clinic by six months of age. To adopt, you’ll need to be at least 21 years old and have everyone in your household on board with the decision.
