Zorro's Story

Zorro is our longest resident at DAWS and has been here for four years. During that time, this 70 lb. six-year-old shepherd mix has been working very hard on training and we believe his time has come to find his furever home! <br/><br/>Back in 2019, when Zorro first arrived to DAWS after being saved from a high kill shelter in Kentucky, he began developing some behavioral challenges, making it difficult to find him the right home. Through extensive training, Zorro has proved himself to be a pup that can develop solid friendships with humans, and even befriend select dogs.<br/><br/>Zorro has been trained using treats and he eagerly sits, lies down and gives a paw on command. He’s done very well with car rides. He has enjoyed many hikes, walks, and play-time with his volunteer team. Time and time again, he has shown what a good boy he is, he just needs to find that special person! With a dog like Zorro, he will need a very specific adopter...<br/><br/>Zorro Owner Requirements:<br/>• Experienced dog owner<br/>• Adult-only home with no kids or future children<br/>• Must be the only pet in the home<br/>• Has to have an understanding of positive reinforcement training<br/>• House with a fenced yard of at least 6 ft.<br/>• Willing to slowly introduce Zorro to people close to the family and educate them on Zorro’s do’s & don'ts<br/>• Come and meet Zorro multiple times<br/><br/>If you think you can be the hero that Zorro needs, please complete our online application.
