**PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PARTICULAR DOG REQUIRES SECURE FENCING (No invisible and no decorative with slats wider than 2.5”) AND another active friendly dog in the home**
PLEASE INSURE YOU HAVE READ THE ABOVE STATEMENT REGARDING REQUIREMENTS! Meet Zipper! Zip is a beautiful 1 year old black and white Chinese Crested powder puff. Zip at 1.5 years old is still all puppy....loves to run zoomies with his foster brother and wrestle and play tug of war. While Zipper is still under evaluation what we do know about him is that he is VERY high energy and extremely intelligent...................okay well his smarts could be questioned when he skids into walls and falls up stairs............but honestly you see it really is because he is happiest when he is in constant motion.............you know Zipping here and there and all over the place at top speed. He loves to eat and is a good boy about not trying to steal food from any of the other dogs and is respectful when taking treats.
So what is the ideal home for Zipper you ask? One that can keep up with his exercise needs through a FENCED IN YARD
(no invisible and no decorative with slats wider than 2.5”) with lots of human interaction to play
AND
another active smaller dog to play with, play time at the local dog parks with dogs of similar sizes and walks on leash. If he is not allowed the opportunity to exercise or have something to do he will find something on his own which may not always be a positive behavior. Zipper has not had much interaction with children as yet so he is cautious around them. If the ideal home for him were to include children it should be children older than 6 who are respectful and calm around him until he is comfortable with that part of this family.
Zipper is being fostered in Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh.
