Matt's Mutts - ZZ

Discover your new best friend with Matt's Mutts!

From playful pups to snuggly cats and everything in between, these pets are waiting for someone like you to give them the love they deserve! This week, we introduce ZZ from Niagara Dog Rescue!

Your new shadow, snuggle buddy & zoomie champion!

ZZ is a 4 year old Boxer mix weighing in at 40lbs of pure love and enthusiasm. This dark brindle sweetheart is a certified Velcro dog--if there's hugging, cuddling, or affection happening, ZZ will not be left out. He will happily squeeze himself right into the middle to make sure he's included.

ZZ is incredibly affectionate, expressive, and loving, but he's also looking for an experienced dog owner who's excited to keep up with his training. He responds very well to structure and guidance and actually loves to work.Training time = bonding time in ZZ's book!

He adores people and makes friendly easily--sometimes a little too enthusiastically. When new people come into the house, ZZ gets very excited (he juts loves you already!), but he's learning how to calm himself and improve his greetings with consistency and patience.

This happy guy is housebroken, crate trained, walks well on a lease, medium energy, plays hard, cuddles harder, is non-destructive, not food aggressive, comfortable being handled and touched.

ZZ is obsessed with food in the best way. Lick mats, puzzles, treats--he's grateful or all of it! After a good game of tug-of-war or a big dose of affection, he'll often break into the cutests zoomies you've ever seen. During cuddle sessions, he may gentle nibble your ears in the sweetest way--consider it a warning to protect your ears while snuggling.

ZZ does well with other dogs with proper instructions, especially respectful pups. He would do best in a home with a yard and without cats. Apartment life isn't ideal for this playful guy.

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who will follow you everywhere, work hard, love harder, and keep you laughing, ZZ is ready to wiggle his way into your heart and your home!
