Zuko
Zuko is a young boy with a soft heart, and plenty of personality! He’s still figuring out home life, but he’s already mastered the art of the cuddle, he’ll happily climb onto the sofa and melt into you for a fuss. He’ll need a patient, understanding home with a secure garden to help him with housetraining and to give him space for zoomies, and someone around for much of the day as he builds confidence (any alone time will need to be introduced slowly).
Zuko can be a bit bouncy and enthusiastic when meeting other dogs and would love a confident, playful canine friend to show him the ropes. On walks he’s learning his manners but has shown he can walk nicely on the lead with the right management.
With reassurance, training, and lots of love, this sweet, goofy boy is sure to blossom into a devoted and entertaining companion.
