Zulu is a 2-year-old neutered German Shepherd mix, medium-sized (within the 36–75 lb range), and full of heart. He was sadly returned to Animal Friends of the Valleys in Wildomar, CA, along with his sister Lani (ID #687784) on June 20, 2025, after originally being adopted as a puppy from the same shelter. 💔
Despite the confusion of losing his home, Zulu has remained friendly and open-hearted. He lights up when visitors approach his kennel, and though he was shy when he first returned, he’s since blossomed into a loving, confident companion.
