Another happy ending: Zack

Zack came into Pet Haven back in August. He was surrendered by a family who loved him very much, but their child developed very strong allergies to Zack so they made the difficult decision to find him another home. Zack has spent over 2 months in a great foster home, patiently waiting for his new family to find him and fall in love. He attended several adoption events, but didn't get any nibbles. What Zack didn't know, and what we at Pet Haven didn't know, is that his new family had already found him -- they just weren't in a position to adopt quite yet. This week they were ready and contacted Pet Haven to see if he was still available. After watching Zack on the website for almost 2 months, J & P adopted him on Sunday. Congratulations to the whole family!

Zack: Move in ready

Zack is hanging out in foster care, waiting for his forever family to find him. He's seen some younger dogs come and go through foster homes and he's just waiting for a family to appreciate all that he has to offer with a couple more years of experience under his belt. He's still got pep in his step and is ready to run and play and walk and fetch. He's also a lover who will sit and soak up all the attention you have to lavish upon him. At the same time, he's old enough to know that dogs have it pretty in good life and he's not about to mess this gig up -- so he sticks around and listens well off-leash. He's totally trustworthy with free roam while you're gone and is and happy to hang out at home for a full work day. He knows that if you pull too hard on the leash, that your humans don't enjoy the walk as much -- so he walks like a gentleman without pulling too hard. He knows the difference between dog toys and shoes, and which ones are appropriate chew toys. He's learned all the hard lessons in a dog's life -- and he's got a full bag of obedience tricks that he would love to show off for you!

Zack does have one confession though (lest you think he sounds too perfect) -- he likes to play chase with the resident cat. Unfortunately for Zack, only one of them enjoys that game. He doesn't mean to cause any harm, it's just a game -- but any felines in his forever home should be willing to tolerate some antics.
