Update 9/9 : Zainab has come a long way since she was rescued off the chain in January! She has received treatment for heartworms and spayed and is ready to join a forever family! Zainab is a super loyal girl who bonds strongly with her people and pack. She has been in a foster home without other dogs and is thriving! She’s had some positive interactions with other dogs, but due to her background of living on a chain, she’ll need more training and experience with other dogs before she’s comfortable sharing a home with them. She is crate and house trained and knows how to “sit” for a treat, too! She’s playful but not super energetic and could join you on hikes, or spend a lazy day on the couch. She’s such a lovable girl who deserves the absolute best forever home!
Mama Zainab was found living on a chain in South Carolina, nursing five babies off her emaciated body. One puppy unfortunately didn't make it, but we were able to save the remaining four puppies and placed them into foster care. Zainab is now also safe with us in foster care and looking for her own forever home!
Zainab is around 4 years old and weighs 60 lbs. She is a sweet and gentle girl who clearly has never lived inside a home before. She was perplexed by the television in her foster home and walked right into the sliding glass doors. She is learning just how nice indoor living is and picks up quickly! She walks nicely on leash without pulling and loves meeting new people. Zainab injured her eye while living on the chain, and her owner never pursued medical treatment. She was assessed by our ophthalmologist, who advised that while she is totally blind in one eye, it causes her no pain or discomfort, so no treatment is needed! She received treatment for heartworms through the rescue and has now earned a clean bill of health.
After everything she's been through, Mama Z deserves to find a perfect forever home, and we are committed to finding one for her!
