🐾 Adoptable Pet of the Week
Zig Zag, 2 Years Old
“Welcome in, take a seat! Zig Zag doesn't mind, he just needs a little time to warm up to new faces. This sweet, gentle boy has a heart of gold and a world of potential. His love language includes long, slow blinks, and eventually, once you earn his trust, he'll come out and say hello! He's a big fan of crunchy treats, and our volunteers tell us he has a blast playing with wand and ribbon toys. We're so proud of Zig Zag for his progress!”
