Zak is a 7-month-old male Pointer Mix weighing 21.6 lbs. He's a gentle and shy boy who is still learning to trust that the world is a safe place. Zak came to us unsocialized, so many everyday experiences are brand new to him. He's looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and that the biggest victories often come in the smallest steps. Calm voices, slow introductions, and a predictable routine will help him build the confidence he's never had the chance to develop. While Zak may not be the dog who runs up to greet everyone today, we know there's a loving companion waiting to shine through. All he needs is someone willing to see his potential and give him the patience he deserves. If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the time to let Zak blossom at his own pace, you'll be rewarded with a bond that's truly one of a kind. Sometimes the most incredible dogs just need someone willing to believe in them.
Ideal Home
Zak would do well with a calm, respectful canine companion who can show him the ropes without overwhelming him. He isn't looking for a dog that's constantly in his face—just a steady friend who can help him learn that life isn't so scary. A quiet home is ideal for Zak.
Ongoing Health
Zak is not yet neutered, but it is scheduled.
Training & Support
Zak is shy and unsocialized, so he will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Calm voices, slow introductions, and a predictable routine will help him build confidence.
