Zak is anxious to find his forever home! Zak is a 2 year old male who's eager to find his forever home! He is a sweet, goofy boy who is great with dogs and people. Zak has been fully on/off leash trained, and has excellent obedience and behavioral skills. He is a very intelligent dog, but don't let his brilliance fool you. Without the proper leadership and household boundaries, Zak will run away with any unearned opportunities or privileges. Structure will be a very important aspect of Zak's life, so his owners need to be prepared to follow through with the lifestyle requirements, training methods and tools.

Zak, retriever mix
Zak is a male retriever mix being kept at Heading Home K9 Rescue.
He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He has had all of his shots, and he is neutered.
Zak's current caretakers say:
Zak the giant teddy bear is sure he is a lap dog. He has no idea he's a big dog. He can somehow manage to wiggle backwards onto your lap, and moves through the room as though in his mind he's a graceful butterfly... when in reality, he's a bull in a china shop. He is very friendly, loves his daily walks, and needs a fenced in yard to play in. Zak would love a home with yard space and an adopter with a sense of humor and a lot of love and energy to give this big goofball.
