Zippy Zipper | Male | Mixed Breed |
Rescue Story:
I was originally rescued by Zoe's when I was about 5 months old and adopted out. Unfortunately the child in the home developed allergies to me so I'm hoping for a second chance at a furever home.
Date of Birth: November 3, 2023 (est)
Energy Level: High - I am happiest with daily exercise and mental activities
Size (adult): Large (approx 75lbs)
Adoption Fee: $425 bargain price for a lifetime of laughs and kisses
Good with Dogs? Yes
I love other dogs but only medium or large dogs as I do have some prey drive to small dogs.
Good with Cats? No
They are too tempting to chase
Good with Kids? Maybe
Older kids would be best as I sometimes forget how big I am.

Hi, I’m Zippy! I’m a big ol’ goofy guy with an even bigger heart and an extra-soft spot for cuddles. My favorite place to be is flopped across your lap—even if I don't quite fit! I can be a little unsure when meeting new people, especially men, but give me a little time (and a few tasty treats), and I’ll be leaning into you for snuggles in no time. I love snacks—seriously, I’ll do just about anything for one. I know how to sit, lie down, and other smart stuff, and I’m always up for learning more. Wrestling and romping with other dogs is one of my favorite things, especially with buddies who match my energy. I’ve got a playful spirit, a loyal heart, and a whole lot of love to give. Think we’re a match? I can’t wait to meet you.
About my Behaviour:
I will need a patient adopter who will keep working on my confidence as I can take time to warm up to new people. It doesn't take me long to warm up but I can be guarded at initial meetings. I love to go on walks but I'm a big strong boy and do have some prey drive to small animals like birds, rabbits, cats, etc. I am house trained. I'm not crate trained but am fine free roaming in my foster home. To ensure we get off on the right paw, my adopters will be required to sign up for force-free training. You can find a list of great trainers at www.albertaforcefreealliance.com.
How’s my Health?
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped.
This animal is in need of a new foster home. Are you interested in fostering?
