About Zippy Zipper
Adopt a Dog or Cat in Edmonton, Alberta More photos of me can be found here. Zippy Zipper | Male | Mixed Breed | I was originally rescued by Zoe's when I was about 5 months old and adopted out.

Zoe's will include 2 private training sessions with a certified force-free trainer with my adoption to help set my new family up for success!
