About Zack PENDING

Zack is described by his foster mom as a 'floppy guy'--when you pick him up he just melts into your lap like he doesn't have any bones to hold him up. He loves to just sit and cuddle, but will also play clumsily with any toy. He especially likes chasing leaves in the wind outside which provides many laughs as he trips over his own feet! He's growing and those darn feet get in the way sometimes. Zack is a potty training PRO for his age and has next to no accidents in the house. He prefers to do his business outdoors and will even whine to ask to go outside. Another strength for Zack is self-soothing. When put into the crate or separate play area, Zack will settle himself right down with (almost always) no whining or barking. He will play for a while and then go right to sleep. He sleeps through the night (10 pm - 7 am) without even needing a potty break. Zack gets along great with people and other dogs. He has not experienced cats that we know of, but is at a great age to learn. Zack is working with a VTDR foster and trainer on Resource Guarding (wanting to protect his food, toys, and favorite people) and will need a family who is willing to continue his behavior training. This is a common issue and one we have helped other dogs resolve. VTDR offers LIFETIME phone and email support and we would work closely to assist his new family. We love Zacky Boy so much and are excited to match him to the perfect home. We do not provide DNA testing which is the only way to know with certainty which breeds are in his genetic background. Our best guess is that he is a Beagle/Shepherd/Rat Terrier mix.
