About dogs named Zephyr

The following are 12 profiles of dogs named Zephyr from our database of 64 dogs with the name Zephyr.

• “I’m a confident younger Australian Shepard. Im going to be neutered at the end of July. I’m not neurotic but can be intense when I play. I like to play fetch sometimes. My owner has me jumping through hoops and other obstacles. I live with a ball obsessed Golden retriever but he doesn’t play with me how I want to play. I’m not crazy about tennis balls like he is. My owner likes taking me to sniff spots for off leash activities to help me get the exercise I need. It would be nice to have a friend to play with though.“

  — Michelle G.

• “I’m Zephyr. I had a rough start in life so can be shy around people at first but I love other dogs and am very friendly. I especially love having girlfriends, but sweet boys who are playful and not too bossy are super fun too. I’m not a good sharer so need to keep play dates toy free. But I’m really so sweet, I even handle loose dogs running up on me on my leash walks with no trouble. Big ones, little ones, I like everybody except the rare black lab ( my mom does not understand this!!). I’m an only dog and really want friends to play with or walk with.“

  — Bethany W.

• “Nervous of human strangers. Especially weary of men. Loves to chase his sister and sniff around.“

  — Katie M.

• “A staffy/boxer mix with a big heart and lots of energy. She loves to run and play fetch“

  — Hailee B.

• “High drive, high energy one year old Aussie. Happy to be anywhere with his people. Working through some reactivity so we enjoy the opportunity to explore on our own.“

  — Jane B.

• “Older dog just loves to sniff and walk. Sometimes plays but for short bursts of time .“

  — Samantha T.

• “I’m Zephyr, my mom says I’m a very good boy. I even help her with the baby foster kittens she looks after. I love watching the squirrels, laying in the sun and smelling around. I also love going where ever my mom goes so I can look after her.“

  — Dee R.

• “Happy, full of fun, looking for something to keep me busy and out of trouble“

  — Doris R.

• “I’m Zephyr! I love adventures and playing! My favorite kind of adventure is one outside and with friends :)“

  — Brianne K.

• “I am the wind. I go left. I sprint right. I swirl in circles. I give myself a fright. (Rescued from a hoarding situation in SC).“

  — Lauren C.

• “Zephyr is a 2 year old AKC Champion Saluki who is in the top 20 lure coursing hounds in the country! He is owned, trained and handled by a 12 year old. He is her 1st dog and they are like two peas in a pod!“

  — Stella L.

• “My name is Zephyr. I was adopted through a rescue and was originally thought to be a border collie mix because of my neat black and white coat. That’s far from the truth. I’m a mix of all sorts of fun and lazy things. Although I’m a nervous Nelly and need some confidence about things, I’m super cuddly and energetic. I’m friendly once I’m introduced properly. Unless you have a beard. I like playing with other dogs but sometimes I feel dominant and let it be know. since I’m the only dog at home. I like to sleep lots but I also like to explore and run around.“

  — Samantha A.
