The baby chaos has settled, but the sparkle is still there. He’s playful, affectionate, and absolutely thrives on connection.<br/>This boy is a professional cuddler. Certified. Accredited. Highly decorated in the field of belly rub appreciation. <br/>He’s been friendly with other dogs and doesn’t seem bothered by the cats at the shelter. He enjoys being part of the action and would love a home where he isn’t just watching life happen from behind kennel doors.<br/><br/>Zayden’s Highlights:<br/>• Sweet, affectionate, people-focused<br/>• Dog-friendly<br/>• Cat-tolerant (at the shelter)<br/>• Best with older kids<br/>• Sometimes gets a little nibble-happy when excited<br/>He isn’t being naughty. He just gets so excited about treats and attention that his brain briefly forgets to send the “manners” memo.
