Zappa – Big, Bold & Ready to Rock Your World
Zappa is a stunning, young, large black Baja rescue pup with a charming little underbite that makes him truly unforgettable. Energetic and full of life, Zappa would thrive in a home with a big fenced yard or with an active, outdoorsy person who’s ready to keep up with his zest for adventure.

He gets along with the rescue’s resident cats in the casita, showing off his good manners and easygoing spirit. Whether he’s exploring the great outdoors or relaxing after a full day of fun, Zappa is ready to be a loyal, loving companion.

Zappa is available for adoption or foster — and he’s more than ready to start his next great chapter. Could it be with you?

Watch my video on my meeting cats! (As part of our dedication to the welfare of all animals under our care, we conduct basic cat testing for dogs brought into our rescue. However, it's essential to understand that while we strive to assess their compatibility with cats, we cannot guarantee their behavior in all situations.)

History: Zappa and his siblings were abandoned outside a local animal clinic.

Before leaving Cortez Rescue, all dogs will be given a full medical assessment to ensure optimum health, be current on vaccinations, and spayed/neutered. All dogs are micro-chipped before leaving Mexico.
