About Zara
Meet Zara, the dog who seems to run on pure excitement. You can walk her for a mile, two miles, maybe three, and she'll still give you that “warm-up complete… what now?” look. Her need for speed is a lifestyle! When Zara relaxes, she becomes your personal weighted blanket, and when she flops onto you, she commits with her full body weight. And at night, she believes the bed belongs to her. Zara wants in on everything. Laundry? Quiet supervisor. Cooking? Hopeful sous-chef. Leaving the house? She's already waiting by the door like she has a ticket and a carry-on. Fetch is Zara's favorite sport, though tennis balls don't survive her enthusiastic jaw power. Chuckit rubber balls are the true warriors here. Zara is housebroken and not destructive. Shoes, blankets, and furniture remain the way you left them. But cute stuffed toys? She dismembers them with surgical precision. Zara knows sit, stay, down, and come. Meeting new people can bring out Zara's bouncy barky side. Consistent, confident direction is a must. A fenced yard for her zoomies would be a huge asset. Zara is incredibly eager to learn, requires further training and would likely be great at agility and scent work. Overall, Zara will make a wonderful forever companion in the right home.
