🖤 Meet Zappa – The Gentle Giant Still Waiting for His Chance 🐾

Zappa has grown up at the rescue alongside his sister Zarah, and it’s hard to believe this sweet, loving boy is still waiting for his forever home. With his shiny black coat, soulful eyes, and calm, affectionate nature, Zappa is truly one of a kind.

He’s a gentle, easygoing companion who adores people and even gets along with the rescue cats. Zappa loves his walks, quiet time by your side, and any moment that lets him be close to his humans.

This big-hearted boy has waited long enough — he’s ready to give all his love to someone who will finally give him the home he deserves. 💔

👉 Don’t let Zappa spend another day waiting. Contact Cortez Rescue today and meet the gentle giant who’s been waiting just for 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.
