About Zuko

Meet Zuko, your future cuddle buddy. At 8 years old, this sweet red tri Australian Shepherd is ready to find his forever home, tipping the scales at a healthy 50 pounds. Zuko and his friend Tootsie were returned to rescue after their family couldn’t keep them due to time constraints, but he’s ready for a fresh start. Zuko gets along well with other dogs and loves playing in the yard, but what he really craves is companionship. His favorite activities include snuggling and staying close to his people, so expect plenty of tail-wagging affection. Though he isn’t destructive, Zuko doesn’t like being left alone, so a home where someone is around more often would suit him best, especially since apartment living isn't ideal for him. Zuko is neutered, vaccinated, and up to date on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. He’s a total sweetheart looking for a family that will cherish him during his golden years. If you’re interested in adopting, you can welcome this loving boy into your life on his own or with Tootsie for a reduced combined fee. Could you provide the happy ending that Zuko has been waiting for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
