Sophie's Zuko

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but if your application appears to be a good match for the dog we will reach out within 3 days.<br/>Zuko is a male pup who looks like a doxie/corgi/terrier. However one of his siblings had a DNA test and they are actually chihuahua/poodle/pomeranian/pug. Definitely not what we would have guessed. He was born 11/24/25 to a spaniel mix mom and a mystery dad, his mom is around 15 lbs and we expect he will be 15-20 lbs when he grows up. Zuko is a very sweet boy, he is super people focused and just loves attention, he is happy to sit at your feet and watch. Zuko is the cutest tuxedo with some brown markings on his legs, so handsome. Zuko has a heart murmur, he has been seen by a cardiologist and diagnosed with supravalvular pulmonic stenosis, we know it sounds scarry, but its not... he has minor restriction of blood flow to one part of his heart. He does not require any medication and should live a normal happy life.<br/>Most of our dogs are not available to an out of the area adoption because of difficulty to follow up. If you do not live within a 2 hr drive of Orange County, please email us before applying to see if the dog you are interested in may be a candidate for long distance adoption. We may consider long distance adoptions for dogs who have been in our rescue for 6 + months with no local candidates.<br/>If you are interested in adopting one of our rescues, please visit our main website for adoption procedures at www.pupsandpals.net and then fill out our application. We do not have a shelter/kennel. Our pets are fostered/boarded all over LA and Orange County.<br/>This pet is altered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had a brief temperament evaluation to help us determine what type of a home he/she would thrive in. Please note that we put lots of time and effort to make sure our pets are ready to be someone's perfect pet before they go home.... and to make sure that we will have the best possible match for this pet we do require an : application, interview, adoption fee and in some cases a home check.<br/>Listed for adoption: 1/17/26<br/>Adoption fee: $500<br/>PLEASE DO NOT call or email to see if a pet is available.
