Meet Zero: He's Been Waiting Since November

It's Fido Friday, and this week community contributor Jen Agnew introduces us to Zero, who has been at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus since November. From the moment he stepped outside, he made it clear he was ready for whatever came next.

"He walks beautifully on leash, hopped right into my truck like he had done it a hundred times before, and he was the perfect breakfast buddy," Jen said. Everywhere they went, Zero was calm, friendly, and just happy to be included, tail wagging, handing out kisses, and soaking up every second of it.

That easygoing personality is exactly what FIDO is designed to show off. "It's amazing how often a simple outing helps create a connection that might have never happened from behind a kennel door," Jen said. "For dogs like Zero, one adventure can change everything."

If you're interested in adopting Zero, contact the Coachella Valley Animal Campus and reference ID number A-1640121. Adoptions are currently free and include spay or neuter services, a microchip, and vaccinations.
