FOSTER COMMENTS: 

Looking for a puppy full of energy and super fun?  Zack may be a match for your family.

He is a bit timid at first then is super friendly.  He gets along well with other dogs.  He has not been around cats.  Our children ages, 10, 13, & 15 love to snuggle and play with him.  We use lots of toys to entertain him and distract the normal puppy mouthing.  Zack is generally quiet, but can whine and bark for a short time when left alone.

We are working on housetraining.   He knows to do "his business" outside when you say "hurry up" and he keeps his crate clean.  However he is not completely housebroken but he is smart and learning quickly.  We take him out hourly during the day for potty breaks.  He can be left in his crate for several hours and overnight without accidents.  At night, Zack settles down pretty quickly in his crate with his sibling Zena.  They sleep overnight from 11pm-6:30am without whining.

A forever home with a fenced yard is not necessary.  Zack uses our fenced backyard, but honestly spend more time indoors when given the opportunity to choose. Like all puppies, he is high energy and very fast, but a walk, after vaccinations are completed would probably make a big difference. We have practiced leash walking in our yard, but he is easily distracted. Using a gentle leader could be helpful.  Once all vaccines are complete, we will venture out for walks in the neighborhood.

Zack loves to run,  chew his rope toy and play tug.  He knows the command "sit" and responds to "come" with a kiss sound. He is a cute, warm snuggle bug that loves to take naps.  Is this sweet pup the right fit for your family?

EVERY DOG HAS A STORY:

ADOPTING A YOUNG PUPPY FROM BFPA: Requires that you live no further than a 30-mile radius from the Triangle area of North Carolina, as you must be close enough for us to meet all the medical procedures we cover before final adoption. We prefer to adopt young puppies to people who have previous experience owning a dog and live in a single family house rather than an apartment, condo or townhome. Puppies can be vocal when left alone and shared walls are sometimes an issue.  Any children in the home under 6 years old must have experience living with a dog in their home.  NOTE:  Zack   has only had one set of vaccines so if a trial adoption begins before the second set of vaccines, the potential adopters will have to keep him in their home and yard to minimize the risk of exposure to germs.  He cannot live in an apartment until after he receives his second set of vaccines at the end of June.  Interaction with unknown dogs at pet stores, doggie day care, dog parks, apartment common grounds and any public areas must be avoided during this time.

Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. We do home visits to finalize adoptions and/or deliver the adopted dog. Therefore, we prefer potential adopters live a reasonable distance to the Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) of North Carolina.  All animals will be up to date on all  vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro chipped before the adoption  is finalized. Fee is $225 for dogs, $115 for cats.
