Zac is a 5-year-old, neutered Anatolian Shepherd mix weighing around 60 pounds. He's a loyal and loving companion who enjoys a good balance of playful energy and laid-back cuddles. Zac was rescued from a county shelter and underwent FHO surgery on a back leg due to an untreated injury. He's fully healed and requires no further medical intervention or medication. Zac thrives on companionship and is happiest when he has people or other dogs around. He's a conversationalist, especially when dinner is late, and enjoys gazing lovingly into his people's eyes. He has a moderate exercise need, enjoying outdoor exploration before settling in for affection and naps.
