About Zero

Meet Zero, a sweet Maltese mix who has truly transformed since being rescued. At around 4 years old and weighing 11 lbs, Zero is ready to blossom in his forever home. He’s on the smaller side, which makes him even more endearing. Although Zero is visually impaired, he still shows a joyful spirit and puppy-like energy, especially after his recent neuter surgery. Once a matted mess, Zero has undergone quite a transformation thanks to the loving care of his foster family. He is learning the meaning of love and treats and eagerly follows his foster mom around the house. He enjoys the companionship of his foster sibling yet takes a bit of time to warm up. Zero sleeps comfortably in his crate, settling in after a short cry. Currently, he’s about 80% potty trained, showing great promise. His future family should be ready to nurture his sweet nature and help him continue to thrive. If you think you could offer Zero the love he deserves, don’t hesitate to reach out!
