Update July 6, 2008
Zorro is ready to find his 4everhome now that his health and weight (79 pounds) are perfect for a 2 year old
neutered male Rottweiler. Zorro had a difficult start in his previous life but his great demeanor and love
towards all humans, children included, always showed itself. He is crate trained, walks very politely on lead,
greets other canine well and is a perfect playmate. Zorro is a gentleman when he goes on automobile rides and
will wait patiently for your return while you do your errand. He is very Velcro with excellent recall and would
be a great companion to have on trail hikes. Zorro has been introduced to cats and had no negative reaction to
them, he stayed very calm. Zorro has a very unique look with his dark black markings but his appearance is very
appealing and when strangers meet him he draws them in with his fly away ears, very soft eye contact and good
looks. He also enjoys water sports and has been swimming. Zorro can go to a 4everhome as an only canine or as
a playmate for another canine. If Zorro sounds like a canine that your family has been searching for then you
should meet Zorro and let him show you how much he has to offer. Zorro is spending time in Southern NH with his
3 Rottweiler friends and Foster family.
Update June 15, 2008
It has been 3 weeks since Zorro had his Heartworm treatment and he is doing very well. He current weight is
at 82 lbs. which is the correct weight for his body size. He is a happy and a loving canine that greets and
meets other canines with good canine etiquette. He enjoys being around children, playing with other canines
and is a very velcro canine with excellent recall. Zorro went for a swim in a local pond yesterday so he enjoys
water sports as well. He will be introduced to cats to see how his behavior is towards them and he will be taking
some long walks on the Beach in the coming weeks. Zorro is on schedule to become available for adoption in 3 weeks
or less.
Meet Zorro, a neutered male Rottweiler that is approximately 16 months old.
Zorro did not have a very good start in his previous life. He came into NERR&R a starved and very
underweight canine at only 52 pounds. He had a very weak skeleton and not much zest for life because
his previous owners did not give him proper care. Zorro had no muscle tone at all and to add to his woes
he was Heartworm positive. The treatment for Zorro's Heartworm condition could not start until Zorro gained
strength and an additional 20 pounds.
Zorro's life changed forever on 4/11/08 when he was accepted into the NERR&R Foster program. He now weighs
76 lbs. He is a very happy canine that shows much love to whomever he meets. He had his expensive heartworm
treatment last week. It is now rest and relaxation for him for the next 4-5 weeks.
Zorro is not available at this moment for immediate adoption because of his mandatory medical rest requirement
after Heartworm treatment.
Stay tuned for updates on Zorro's progress.
