Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:) Meet: tripod Kiko fromAlbania who will be here nx month. Age: 1 year old Gender: male Weight: 17 kilos Breed: mixed Good with Dog: yes Good with Cat: not tested Good with Kids: yes Housebroken: in progress Ok in kennel: he spent time in a clinic cage Ok on leash: yes Barker: no Separation anxiety: no Behavioral issues (food aggression, leash reactivity) : no Up to date vaccines: yes including rabies Spayed/neutered: yes Location of foster: international Albania Rescue story (if you know): Kiko was a young street dog that we looked after for about 5 months. after not seeing him for a few weeks we found him with a serious shoulder wound that exposed his leg tendon, making it impossible for him to use that leg. He was taken to a veterinary hospital where it was determined that the wound, while deep, only affected the muscle. Kiko stayed in the hospital for about ten days, receiving antibiotics And then surgery After the initial surgery, Kiko's wound needed drainage, leading to close monitoring. Once he recovered, he was placed in a paid foster home. Unfortunately, Kiko developed swelling near the surgical wound a few days later. After a night of distress, Kiko was rushed back to the hospital. The doctors discovered that he had developed an internal infection that had reached the bone. The only solution was to amputate his leg, a heartbreaking decision. Despite the pain and challenges, Kiko, believed to be less than a year old, now faces life with three legs. This courageous and kind-hearted puppy will have to make many adjustments, but his spirit remains strong. Brief write up (personality, what would be the ideal home?): Kiko has a wonderful temperament. He is playful and affectionate with other animals, approachable, and very loving toward people. He is also remarkably obedient. Quiet by nature, he rarely barks, almost never in fact. The only time he cries is when I leave the foster home, but he settles down very quickly. Zani's Furry Friends ZFF All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.

If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too. Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate!
