Additional info:

Sweet Zero has gone from "zero to hero" since getting rescued! When first rescued, he was a matted filthy mess. He got a doggy glow up, neuter surgery, and loving foster home and he is blossoming. Just a day after his surgery (he's still living that post neuter cone life:) he was already so sweet and showing lots of joyful puppy energy.

He may have some vision issues and spins when he gets excited. He is a blank slate and is learning about affection and what “treat” means. He seems to want to play with his foster sibling (dog) but it took him a few days to feel comfortable. He follows his foster mom around the house and just wants to be close. Zero sleeps in a crate at night like a champ. He will cry for about 5 minutes and them settles in. He is about 80% potty trained already. He is a real diamond in the ruff looking for someone to love him forever.
