Zuko~Goofy, Happy, Super Friendly! Black Labrador Retriever & Hound Mix Woodbury, CT

Meet Zuko~

Meet our happy-go-lucky 2 year old, Black Lab, Zuko! This energetic guy loves to be the center of attention and be included with everything his people are doing. Zuko is a total lover, SUPER affectionate, and a wanna be lap dog! He thinks he is just a pup!
Zuko is large and goofy and is basically like a bull in a china shop! He is guaranteed to make you laugh! He is a happy guy that is super social! He could probably go anywhere and be up for anything! Weighing in at a whopping 65 lbs. Zuko may be large, but he is very easy on leash. He would be fantastic for taking on walks or hikes! Zuko does have energy, but is not hyper and does settle down!
Zuko is fine with other dogs, but will choose his people over dogs any day!

BREED IDENTIFICATION:

Please understand that many rescue dogs are mixes of multiple breeds. Petfinder allows us to choose up to two breeds per dog. While the shelters and our rescue do our best in accurately identifying breeds, breed identification is not guaranteed. If there is a certain breed that you do not want, it is very important that you share this with our rescue when applying. When adopting a puppy, breed uncertainty plays a big part in the size/look of the dog as an adult. Please know that any puppy can be a wonderful dog, regardless of preconceived notions of certain breeds, but it is very important that the adopter has the dedication and patience to raise the puppy with boundaries, consistency, structure, & love. The more effort you give towards training & time you allow for exercise, your puppy will grow to be a HUGE source of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, TOTAL LOYALTY, HAPPINESS, COMFORT & COMPANIONSHIP!

ABOUT OUR RESCUE:
We are a small rescue run by volunteers & focused on finding the right match for both our dogs & for you. If you are interested in adopting through our rescue, you first will need to complete an adoption application & be approved as a potential adopter before meeting any of our pups. No need to be intimidated by our application as it allows us to get to know you & your lifestyle. Of course, the more you can share the better! Please also note, while a fenced yard is fantastic, it is not required by our rescue, however, it may be required for a certain dog occasionally. Once adoption applicants are approved to become potential adopters, we offer private appointments where you can meet one or several dogs at the discretion of the rescue. We offer a unique & pleasant experience focused on finding the perfect match. It is extremely important to us that everyone is treated with respect & that NO ONE IS LEFT HANGING. WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITHIN 2 TO 3 DAYS of application submission. If there is a dog you are eager to meet, please TEXT US DIRECTLY at 203-241-2351 so that we can check the status of your application and move it forward immediately. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find your new best friend.
*All adult dogs can be cat tested by request.
