Zelda comes to us all the way from Texas, where her foster mom spotted her on a website being given away by her owners or else she would be taken to a high volume municipal shelter. Zelda's foster mom loves huskies, and felt like she had to help so she paid for her vetting and transport up here.
Zelda was very shy at first, meeting her foster family, but after a couple of weeks - she really settled in and became comfortable in the home. She gets so excited when the kids come home from their activities, she whimpers with joy. They are ages 5 and 9, and she is gentle and playful with them. Zelda is left to free roam with the other dogs when her humans are away, and she is housebroken, too.
Zelda is still shy when meeting new people, and needs time and patience to make new friends. She will bark at people and try to look tough, but she really is just scared! If you take your time, and offer really good treats, she lets her guard down. Potential adopters will need to be patient and know that it may take a couple visits with Zelda in her foster home before bringing her home. Zelda needs time to feel safe, but once she does, she has proven to be a great family member. She will repay all your patience with devotion!
Her foster mom writes, "Zelda is a very sweet and gentle dog that loves people affection. She loves to play with kids and our dogs but also LOVES her squeaky toys! She also loves chasing kids outside the house especially if they have her favorite toy! She likes to be close by her humans and is a very loyal to us. Zelda walks great on the leash and is always excited to go for the car rides. Zelda is a truly a special dog!"
We hope you will ask about this beautiful girl today!
Zelda's adoption fee is $250. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
