Zuko is an affectionate companion and an enthusiastic social butterfly who greets life with his whole heart! He's a happy-go-lucky boy, estimated to be around 1 year old and looks like a Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mix. Zuko has a strong foundation of manners, training, and adaptability, and he's proven to be both house and crate trained. He knows multiple commands, enjoys learning, and is respectful of his home. Zuko loves to run and is proud to join his people on adventures. He makes friends everywhere and is happy to meet new people and dogs. He has even learned to coexist respectfully with pet rabbits, but a cat-free home would be best as he can be a bit overwhelming for cats. Zuko truly shines with other dogs and would love a confident, playful canine companion over 25 pounds who enjoys active, rough-and-tumble play. While he's still polishing his social skills and can be pushy during play, he's resilient and eager to engage, and would thrive with a confident adult dog who can help teach him boundaries. Zuko is also a fantastic fetch partner who celebrates with squeaky-ball joy! He would love an active family who enjoys including their dog in daily adventures, but he also has a soft side and loves to be tucked in for a snuggle.
