We rescued Zorro from the hellish conditions of a village pound on May 31st. He charmed us from the second we met him.

We strongly believe that this gorgeous, gentle dog must have once lived in a home. He gets excited when he sees a lead and walks well on it, without pulling. When we rescued him from the pound he trotted happily to the car and jumped in. He rode to the sanctuary looking out of the window and seemed so at ease.

Zorro tries his absolute best to keep his kennel clean which makes us think that he was once house trained. We make sure to let him out into the yard as often as possible so that he can keep us his good habits. Being caged up 24/7 at the pound must have been hell for him.

From what we've seen so far, Zorro is friendly and respectful towards other dogs. Further dog tests are needed, but we believe that he could join a home with another resident dog.

Zorro is a large dog, but he is so well behaved that his size is not an issue. He sits for treats without being asked, doesn't jump up unless encouraged during play, and is generally calm, sweet and gentle.

Can you tell that we're quite big fans of this gorgeous boy!
