About this Dog
Meet Zuko - The Christmas Miracle Pup Some pups are born into warmth and security, and some - like Zuko - are born into the unknown, carrying with them a story of resilience from the very start. We believe this special boy entered this world on Christmas Day, a tiny light in the darkness after his mama's unhoused owner tragically passed away. But against all odds, Zuko and his siblings survived, and now he's ready for a future filled with love, security, and a family to call his own. As the only boy in a litter of six, Zuko has learned patience, diplomacy, and how to hold his own! He's an easygoing, gentle pup who adores cuddles and simply wants to be by your side. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a canine of similar size and energy. Speaking of size - Zuko and his sisters appear to be shepherd mixes, and while their mama is a petite 35-40 pounds, it seems their dad may have been a bigger guy. We anticipate these pups growing into large, athletic dogs who will love adventure just as much as snuggling on the couch after a long day. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and resilient pup to add to your family, Zuko is ready to be your Christmas miracle - 365 days a year.

Contribute to Zuko's Stash!
100% of Zuko's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Zuko.
Adopt Zuko and Receive Zuko's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Zuko's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Zuko's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Zuko, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Zuko's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Zuko was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Zuko’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Zuko’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Zuko’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
