Zander - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Zander
Est DOB: 5/15/26
Breed Best Guess: Pyrenees Mix

Meet Zander!

At just 8.5 weeks old, Zander may be little... but his personality (and those PAWS! ) are already HUGE!

If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts snuggle buddy, independent entertainer, and professional stick chewer, we think you just found your guy!

Zander loves to cuddle, but he's also perfectly happy entertaining himself for hours. He's great with other tolerant dogs, would do just fine with a dog-friendly cat, and absolutely LOVES his humans—big and small!

He's working hard on his housebreaking and is already a rockstar in his crate, sleeping through the night without making a peep. And car rides? No problem! Zander just curls up and takes himself a little puppy nap.

His current favorite hobbies include:


Finding the perfect cool spot in the yard to lay
Chewing sticks like it's his full-time job
Snuggling
Making new friends
Being ridiculously cute


Zander is likely to be a large-breed boy, so those adorable puppy paws are giving us a pretty good preview of the BIG handsome guy he'll become!

He's smart, sweet, curious, and playful, and he'll thrive in a home that has the time, patience, and energy that comes with raising a puppy. In return, you'll get a lifetime of love, laughs, snuggles, and probably a few sticks brought proudly into your house.

Think Zander might be your boy? Don't wait! Apply to adopt him today at 716Paws.org.

We have a feeling this sweet boy isn't going to be waiting long!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
