Meet Zen 🐾🧘♂️
Male · ~2.5 months old ·
Breed guess: Dachhund / Mini Pinscher Mix
Up to date with vaccines & deworming
Estimated adult weight: 6–7 kg (13–15 lbs)
very calm and freindly
loves to cuddle
Currently fostered near San Isidro (PZ)
Zen and his siblings were found abandoned in a box next to a plastic bag on the side of the road — but despite such a rough start, these puppies are thriving: healthy, playful, and full of love!
Zen is by far the most chill of the bunch. He’s laid-back, calm, and totally lives up to his name.
While the others bounce around like little popcorn, Zen is the one striking poses during photo shoots — and yes, he proudly holds the title of Best Picture Pup 📸✨
With his short legs and sleek black coat, Zen looks like a Dachshund–Mini Pinscher mix and will likely stay on the small side — around 6–7 kg (13–15 lbs) fully grown.
Zen is looking for a home where he can keep living his best, easygoing life. If you’re dreaming of a sweet, mellow companion who also knows how to work the camera, Zen is your guy.

FAQ
Where are you located / Is there a shelter I can visit?
We are a foster-based rescue, which means we operate without a shelter or office. Every animal we help is cared for in a foster home. Most of our fosters and volunteers are located in and around San Isidro de El General, Pérez Zeledón, in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica.
Can I visit the animals available for adoption?
Yes! Once your application is approved, we’ll coordinate a meet-and-greet with the foster home.
