Zio's Story

Hi there. My name is Zio, and I am a handsome male Maltipoo born on 11/18/22, making me now 3 years old, and I weigh 12.5 lbs. Through no fault of my own, I was surrendered by my owner to 4 Little Paws Rescue so I could live a better life. I was being bullied by a doggy housemate, which was very hard on me since I am a very sensitive boy and can easily get my feelings hurt! I am now living in a foster home, chilling out, and having some fun while getting ready for adoption.<br/><br/>I am a sweet little guy, shy at first when I meet new people, but I warm up quickly. I am friendly with other dogs, but truly, my heart belongs to people, and I will curl up beside you every chance I get. I like playing with stuffed toys, shaking them about, and I am not keen on sharing them with other dogs. I am well-behaved, rarely bark, and I am working on some housebreaking, and doing well. I will walk on a leash with a bit of encouragement, and I do not mind a car ride. I am okay in a crate, but I get to roam freely at my foster home. My foster mom says I am smart, loyal, sensitive, and sometimes just need my own space. My future looks bright, and I am so looking forward to joining a wonderful family anywhere on the East Coast! Inquire about me today!<br/>Adoption Fee: $700<br/><br/>LOOKING FOR AN APPLICATION? Click on the "More About 4 Little Paws" link.<br/><br/>* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.
