Meet 2503-0842 Zazu (Off Site Foster)

ZAZU - 4 years old, 60 pounds, kid and dog social, can be nervous when meeting new people. Surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him, Zazu sits in the back of his kennel, almost pitiful looking with his red allergy marked fur and very thin body. He's quiet, calm. I opened the kennel door and unexpectedly he got up, approached me, and sniffed the treat, didn't take it but sniffed it. Outside he trotted along, all the while with a downtrodden expression. LOL I couldn't get him to smile for any photo. In the yard he stayed at my side the majority of the time, sometimes roaming out to sniff. Treats I plopped on the table next to me were quickly eaten. Zazu remained quiet and inquisitive about the yard and all he was taking in. He was very sweet and although not playful or energetic in the yard, we are told he is playful and enjoys playing with plush toys. He is crate trained and can be trusted roaming free when left alone. He usually hangs out in his crate with the door open. Zazu enjoys going for walks but he doesn't care too much for just hanging outside. Zazu is good with other dogs and is also good with children.  This being said, we always encourage supervision. FUN FACTS! Zazu is scared of loud sounds and the rain.  He's not a fan of baths.  He enjoys car rides.   *Zazu has skin issues and this will be important for potential adopters to consider. He is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don't see him, please just ask!
