Story
Say hello to Zara! Zara is a 2 year old, 75-pound Pressa Canario/Mastiff mix! This sweet girl has taken quickly to her new foster family and everything that comes with her new-found life! We don’t know a lot about Zara’s history as she was originally found as a stray, but she has quickly proven to be the face of a burly pup with the heart of a lap dog.This adaptable girl has quickly caught onto the new house rules and is doing well with training. Her ideal forever family will be one that has experience with large-breed dogs and is dedicated toward consistent training and improving Zara’s separation anxiety.Thus far, Zara has made major strides with potty training and mostly knows where and when to do her business. When home alone, she has been known to occasionally bark/howl, so shared walls may not be ideal. She is working on crate training and has proven to be a bit of an escape artist. In her forever home, consistent crate training and shorter time periods in the crate will be best for Zara. Zara is working on leash training and is doing well. She loves her long walks and zoomies in the backyard! A fenced yard would be a major bonus but is not required. As long as Zara’s activity is consistent, she is a happy girl! She is a big fan of the other pets in the house and is having fun getting to know them. She spends a lot of time with her fellow resident dogs and they get along great. She is largely unbothered by the resident cats and spends time with them both in and outdoors! Zara would love another furry friend in her forever home, but it’s not a requirement.We do not yet know how Zara does around children. Given her size and that we are still learning about her, we recommend that introductions with children be slow and controlled. If Zara’s prospective family has a child in the home, a meet and greet may be necessary prior to adoption.Zara is ready to meet her forever home! With consistent structure and training, she will be sure to grow into the best companion someone could ask for. If you’re interested in learning more about Zara and think she might be a good fit, fill out an application using the link below to learn more! Whoever becomes her family will feel lucky they did. https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
