Bio:
If you are interested in adopting Zac, please email info@diamondsfriends.org!

Sweet Zac has been through so much in his short life, and it's time for his resilience to be rewarded with a furever home! After spending the first 7 months of his life trying to survive in a remote area of Kauai and then ending up in an overcrowded shelter, he traveled to Diamond’s Friends Pet Rescue in California with hopes of finding a family. He arrived with full vision, but he inexplicably lost his sight after just a few months in California. Vets and specialists ran multiple tests to try to figure out what happened with no luck. All his tests showed that he’s a healthy boy!

He is potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, sleeps through the night in his crate (but prefers having someone nearby), and can be left alone for up to 3 hours at a time. He'd love a home with people who are around most of the time.

Zac is a VERY sweet boy, but he is timid and will need a patient home that wants to help build his confidence. He does much better with a friendly dog around that can be his "seeing eye dog," so he needs a home with another pup his size or larger. Like most dogs, he also does much better when he's on a schedule and has a routine he can rely on!

He loves puzzle toys, lick mats, and Benebones.  Zac is fantastic with other dogs and has been social with respectful, calm kids. He likes to take in his surroundings and has enjoyed trips with his doggy foster siblings to coffee shops, Huntington Beach, and Home Depot.

Because he will sometimes bark loudly when he wants to play or gets afraid, we are recommending him to families who have a house vs. an apartment/townhome just so that there aren’t complaints from neighbors. He does respond to correction when you tell him “no.”

Given all he's been through, Zac is a sensitive boy. He will need someone who can be patient and wants to work to build the incredible bond we know he will have with his furever person. As he learns to trust you, the relationship you will develop with him will be unmatched. We cannot adequately express what a sweet pup he is.

If you are interested in being Zac's family, please email info@diamondsfriends.org or apply to adopt him on our website! Transport is available.
