He has a penchant for snacks and snuggles, making him a delightful choice for anyone who appreciates a dog with personality.

While he may be a bit shy at first, once Zach feels comfortable, he eagerly welcomes affection and can be picked up for some well-deserved love.

A thoughtful introduction to any new furry friends is key for his success. Currently, Zach is thriving in a home with a child, enjoying playful interactions. His favorite pastimes involve mealtime and cozy snuggle sessions. If you have room on your couch and in your heart for a cuddly companion with a bit of sass, Zach is ready to be your next best friend.
