Zen's story

　　I lived with dogs in my previous home!

　　I lived with cats in my previous home, but I think I may do better with a home with no cats from now on.

　　I lived with kids in my previous home, so I think I will need to a home with experience children due to my temperament.

　　Long and lean and weighing almost 70 pounds, Zen acts a lot like a big puppy. He gets excited meeting new people and usually jumps up to say hello. Zen walks pretty well on leash but could use a little more practice, since he tends to get excited when he sees other dogs. He already knows several commands including sit, shake, down and more. Zen is playful and good at fetch with either tennis balls or sticks. He reportedly likes playing with other dogs, but does not share food or toys. It's also said that he does not like water, so no swimming for this big guy and reportedly he has caught and dispatched some birds and chickens in the past, so no fowl in his new home, please. [kc]
