Zorro

Zorro is an absolute hilarious furball who loves his people with everything he’s got. Although he’s an easy “sell” based on looks and his delightful and silly personality, Zorro requires a very specific family. Zorro is prone to pancreatic flares a few times a year, causing vomiting and diarrhea. It is difficult to pinpoint an exact cause of these flares, but it is likely due to stress and perhaps is related to irritable bowel syndrome. These flares do require medication when they occur. However, they often only last a few days and he quickly reverts to his bouncy self again once resolved. Zorro has an old neck injury which also sometimes flares, making him very sensitive and defensive when being handled or pet and will also require veterinary follow-up. Because of his sensitivities, his new family must not have any children under 15. He lived successfully with other dogs, cats, and a parrot in his foster home, but he did have some issues with a dog he lived with in his original home. We believe with proper management, he can live with other animals. We made a promise to Zorro. We promised him that we would find someone who could safely and responsibly manage him both medically and behaviorally. And now the search is on. Zorro’s adopter should be very experienced in recognizing dog body language and signs of fear, anxiety, and stress. But we know that person is out there to show him the patience and care he deserves, allowing him to be independent when he’s not feeling himself and giving him the love he needs, no matter what it takes. Please stop by 12-5pm daily for walk-in visits (no appointment necessary). You can apply online ahead of time at www.mlar.org/adopt-application
