zander

Zander is a 12-week-old Shepherd/Husky mix and the most loveable little pup. Though he was the runt of his litter and spent his first few days in intensive care, you’d never know it today. He’s grown into an adorable, scrappy little guy who steals the heart of everyone he meets.When he wants attention, he doesn’t bark or jump, he simply sits politely at your feet and gently pokes your leg with his paw. It’s impossible not to laugh and scoop him up.Practically perfect with house-training and already crate-trained, Zander doesn’t protest when crated and settles in like a champ. He adjusted to his foster home easily, quickly learning the rules and showing just how much he loves being part of a family. He’s patient, food-motivated, eager to please, and truly an ideal pup.While he’s not very vocal, he does get chatty during roughhousing with his sister! He loves other dogs and playing with children. He loves being near his people and would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of attention and activity. He does not have experience with cats so a proper introduction is recommended.Zander is playful when it’s time for fun, and happy to snuggle or nap at your feet when the day winds down. He loves chew toys, especially ones that involve treats. A fenced yard would be a plus in his future home, though it’s not required with a committed and active family.Zander is ready to make you laugh!
