Zeppelin Rottweiler & Siberian Husky Mix Bend, OR

Meet Zeppelin! Zeppelin is a handsome and affectionate, fun-loving adult Rottweiler-Husky mix boy with a joyful, excitable personality that brings warmth and laughter wherever he goes. His family had Zep since he was just 10 weeks old, and he's grown into a big, goofy guy who absolutely adores people and lives for butt rubs - his whole body wiggles with excitement when he's getting attention!
Zep loves a mix of activity and downtime, making him the ideal buddy for someone who enjoys a balance of outdoor fun and cozy indoor snuggles. He's got just the right amount of energy and enthusiasm to make every day a little brighter. With his playful and enthusiastic nature, Zep is best suited for a home with adults or older kids who can match his energy. His excitement can sometimes be a bit much for small children, as he doesn't always realize his size in his joy to connect.

Submit your adoption application online today through our website and don't miss this opportunity to bring this wonderful boy home for a home trial towards his adoption. Will you be his hero?

***SDH is assisting Zeppelin's family with his rehoming and he is/was not an SDH dog.***

steps to adopting

(OUR ADOPTABLE DOGS ARE IN SEPARATE TEMPORARY FOSTER HOMES BETWEEN BEND/CENTRAL OREGON AND THE GREATER PORTLAND AREA. THEREFORE, MEET AND GREETS ARE NOT DONE AT OUR FACILITY. TO LEARN MORE, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ADOPTION APPLICATION ONLINE AND OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM MANAGER WILL REACH OUT TO YOU WITH FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MEET YOUR NEW PUP!)

The first step to adopting a dog from SDH is to complete the adoption application. First click on the "OUR DOGS" tab up above, and then click on the orange colored "Fill out an Adoption Application here" button to start the process). Once submitted, please expect 3-5 business days or sooner for processing and to hear back from us. Once you are pre-approved, your adoption application will remain on file with us for 1 year and it can go towards multiple adoptions within that 1 year time frame before it expires.

To finalize an adoption you must sign the adoption contract and pay the full adoption fee of $300. The adoption fee helps cover our costs. On average, per dog, it costs SDH between $500-$700 for vetting/medical/sterilization, transport and other rescue related expenses. All dogs are rescued and do not transport to SDH until they are healthy and ready to be adopted. All dogs are examined by a veterinarian before they fly, which includes sterilization whenever possible, given standard vaccines and rabies (if age appropriate). Most dogs are sterilized before they come into our program, however if this is not the case we will spay/neuter them once they arrive at our cost.

Upon their arrival, all dogs are seen for a wellness exam by SDH's medical team. Once the adoption is finalized, any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by SDH, unless discussed prior with our medical team. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability prior to finalizing the adoption.
