Zakk Wylde

Zakk is a handsome 7-year-old, 46-lb Chow with a BIG personality and an even bigger love for balls and toys! He's housebroken, well behaved, affectionate without being overly needy, and loves ear and chin scratches.<br/><br/>Zakk came to rescue after a stressful experience at animal control. He spent most of his life as an only dog with limited exposure to the world, so he does best with people who understand canine communication, respect his boundaries, and don't push him into situations that make him uncomfortable.<br/><br/>The Bottom Line on Zakk:<br/>People: Happy, friendly, affectionate, and has had no issues with his foster family.<br/><br/>Dogs: Selective and needs careful introductions and supervision. He doesn't seek conflict, but may get grumbly when another dog pesters or crowds him. He's improved with his foster's dogs, but we haven't had enough opportunity to know whether he'd thrive living with another dog.<br/><br/>Home: An experienced, Chow-savvy home that understands canine communication and gives him space to adjust would be ideal. A home where he doesn't have to constantly navigate other dogs may be his best fit.<br/><br/>Fun factor: Zakk LOVES toys and balls. He'll even jump up on the window when he wants to see what's happening outside. <br/><br/>Zakk doesn't need someone to "fix" him. He needs someone who understands him—someone who won't punish him for communicating that he's uncomfortable, who introduces new situations thoughtfully, and who lets him build trust at his own pace.<br/><br/>In return, you're getting a sweet, fun, housebroken Chow who loves his people, LOVES his toys, and has plenty of personality. Zakk is ready for a home that appreciates who he is, respects his boundaries, and lets him be the goofy boy who thinks every day should include a ball. <br/><br/>** Zakk is being fostered in Orlando, FL. Paid transport can be arranged. Transport costs range from $200-400.** <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application @ https://form.jotform.us/41173109602142.
