Zuko German Shepherd Dog & Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Westfield, NY

Zuko arrived at NCCR on 2/13/24, surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him. He is an approximately 4-month-old male mixed breed. His breed mix reportedly is German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog. He is likely to grow to at least 50 lbs. or more as an adult. Zuko will require ongoing daily training, lots of exercise and 1-on-1 play time with his new family, and plenty of patience and love to help him become the best dog he can be!

If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application found at caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.

We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.

*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
