We here at Furbo love to celebrate pups from all walks of life. There’s nothing better than a tail-wagging pup and a happy human by their side. Today we highlight an adoption story from Tess and her new furbaby Zayn.

Zayn comes from the shelter Wags & Walks. Wags & Walks have shelters in both Los Angeles and Nashville. Their mission is to focus on rescuing dogs that are at risk for overcrowding at other shelters and finding them love and happiness.

Zayn was a pup from the ‘One Direction’ litter with his other siblings! He is a beautiful mixed breed who is playful, loving, and energetic.

When asked about why she wanted to adopt, Tess said: “I grew up with dogs and always knew I wanted one of my own.” She attended Wags and Walks for an event but decided to fill out an application. She ended up fostering Zayn and then eventually adopting him!

“[Zayn] has transitioned seamlessly into our lives, He is almost full house broken and we can trust him outside of his crate and alone for 3 hours at a time!” Any new family member can present challenges, but Zayn has brought so much joy into Tess’ home. 

Zayn is a five-month-old healthy dog. His favorite activities include playing tug of war, chasing a frisbee, and eating peanut butter. Zayn also loves to cuddle and snooze between his mom and dad.

Furbo can be a great tool for new paw-rents, especially with rescue dogs. It can be hard to always keep an eye on your pup at all times. With Furbo you can watch them, toss treats, and even talk to them when you’re not home. Tess says it’s been helpful when acclimating her new family member. 

“Furbo has been great with training but mostly calms my anxiety when he is home alone. I love being able to talk to him and rewarding him with a treat even when I'm not home.”

Whether you’re a new dog parent or have had your pups for years, Furbo is a great addition to your household. Read more about Furbo’s mission of one Furbo = one rescued dog
