Meet Zed, a gentle giant in training with a heart as big as his paws! This handsome German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix puppy is impossible not to love, with his striking black coat, warm tan markings, adorable white chest patch, and a single white sock that makes it look like he dressed up for the occasion. Zed is a thoughtful boy who can be a little timid at first, but once he feels safe, his affectionate and playful side shines through. He enjoys being close to his people and soaking up all the attention. Zed has a wonderfully balanced personality; he loves playing with his siblings and exploring, but he's also content entertaining himself or relaxing nearby, without needing to be the center of attention. He thrives on routine, enjoying regular feeding times, play sessions, crate time, and plenty of rest. Zed is doing great with pee pad and crate training and sleeps well through the night. He's been exposed to children and does wonderfully with them, is comfortable around the adults in his foster home, and gets along well with the resident German Shepherd. He's also been introduced to cats and can comfortably share space with them. Zed's calm, easygoing nature means he tends to go with the flow and adapts well to new routines, bringing a peaceful presence wherever he goes. He'll happily play and cuddle by your side but also has the confidence to enjoy a little independence. Like all puppies, Zed will need patience, consistency, and continued training, and in return, you'll gain a loyal companion with a gentle spirit and a loving heart.
