Meet Zoomie! Zoomie is a 4.5-year-old, 28.5 lbs male Mini American Shepherd. Zoomie is the sweet and cuddliest guy who has spent the last few months in an amazing foster home, learning how to dog. Zoomie came to us with heartworms and has finally completed his treatment-yay! Zoomie's foster reports that he likes to stick close, he is happy to keep your feet warm and follow you around the house. Zoomie is a great leash walker and is crate trained, he does see his crate as a safe space. Zoomie has down well with potty training and loves a routine. He also prefers to have some company when going out to potty. Zoomie does to well with other dogs and would benefit from have a calm, confident canine pal in the home.

To help set him up for success, Zoomie does need a child free home and one that does not have any children visitors.
