Meet Zaxby, a 10-year-old Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and so much love to give. While his Rescue Rovers name is Zaxby, he responds best to Axl—and his ears perk right up when he hears it. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to head home with his forever family. Zaxby is the perfect blend of mellow and motivated. Inside the home, he’s low energy and content to relax by your side, happy just being near his people. He enjoys a peaceful environment and would make a wonderful companion for cozy evenings and quiet mornings. But when it’s time to head out for a walk? Zaxby lights up! He truly adores his strolls and will happily join you for neighborhood adventures at a comfortable pace. This sweet boy does great with other dogs, cats, and kids. He’s gentle, kind, and has a soft presence that makes him easy to love. Zaxby is also very food motivated, which has already helped him master “sit” and “shake.” With a few treats and some encouragement, he’ll gladly show off his skills and learn new ones. Zaxby can sometimes resource guard his food, so he’ll do best being fed separately from other dogs in the home. With this simple routine in place, he continues to thrive and be the affectionate, well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. At 10 years old, Zaxby has the wonderful balance of maturity and enthusiasm. He’s past the puppy chaos but still enjoys life’s simple pleasures—walks, treats, and time with his people. He’s ready to settle into a loving home where he can be a loyal, steady companion. If you’re looking for a gentle, easygoing best friend who will happily share your days and walks, Zaxby is ready to meet you.
