Gentle giant Zion searching for a forever home

A big, goofy grin and soulful brown eyes make Zion hard to miss — and even harder not to fall in love with.

Currently in the care of Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc in Airlie Beach, Zion is a young Bandog cross with a gentle heart and a quiet hope of finding his forever family.

Estimated to be between one and two years old, Zion has had a challenging start to life, leaving him a little shy when first meeting new people. But with patience and reassurance, his affectionate and loyal nature quickly shines through. Once he feels safe, Zion loves nothing more than staying close to his humans and soaking up calm companionship.

Despite his size, Zion is a gentle giant who shows a particularly caring nature around children, interacting with them in a calm and tender way. He has a low to medium energy level, making him well suited to a relaxed household where he can continue building confidence at his own pace.

Rescue volunteers say Zion doesn’t ask for much — just kindness, consistency and a secure environment where he can finally feel at home.

Zion is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped, and would thrive in a calm, patient home willing to give him the time he needs to settle. He is yet to be tested with other dogs.

Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc hopes to see Zion matched with a family who understands that sometimes the most rewarding bonds come from giving a second chance.

Those interested in meeting Zion or learning more are encouraged to contact Bowen Collinsville Pet Rescue Inc to arrange a meet-and-greet via email bcpri.adoptions@gmail.com.
