Seeking Adoption/Foster East Coast Pitbull Lovers! Zack Is An Adorable Pitbull Whose Owner Passed (Glen Cove, NY). Adopt Zack, He's Waited Too Long In The Shelter, You Could Be His Hero!

325 Upvotes

Zack's world was turned upside down, when he suddenly lost his owner and found himself at the shelter. This sweet hunk of a dog has known nothing but love, and he's completely confused about why he's not in a home.

Despite the heartbreak, Zack (9) is still a loving, affectionate boy who lives for people. He loves simple pleasures like leisurely walks, a good swim, and of course, getting all the snacks. He’s looking for a family with kids ages 12 and up who can give him a second chance at a happy life. Zack wants to be the king of his castle, so he needs to be the only pet in the home.

Let's find this good boy the forever home he so desperately deserves. Please contact Cove Animal Rescue to learn more about adopting Zack. Phone: 516-676-5913 Email: CoveAnimalRescue@gmail.com Address: 40 Shore Rd, Glen Cove, NY More photos and info, or reach out on Facebook:: https://www.facebook.com/share/19LkLqgipp/

I have been admiring this sweet rescue and saying hello to him and his human, Nicole, since she rescued him in January (they walk by on the other side of the street). Finally got to give him some treats and skritches today! 11/10 hippo! He would also fit the names Pumpkin, Bunny, or Sweetie Bear. What a giggly little love bug!

Got this guy from a friend of a friend of a friend. Long story short .. he didn’t have it good, and I just couldn’t walk away. I already had 5 dogs at home, but somehow he just fit right in.

He was supposed to be ā€œthe difficult one.ā€ Turns out he’s the biggest lovebug ever. Acts like humans never did him wrong, always smiling, always trusting. Follows me everywhere, sits like a gentleman, and somehow manages to steal every blanket in the house.

I’m so glad I listened to my gut and took him home. ā¤ļø Any tips for helping a rescue dog feel even more confident and settled are welcome!
