Back to all dogs

Meet Zara 6278

Zara 6278 really blossomed over the summer. She has put on some weight and eagerly looks forward to a pack walk….even with a man holding the leash (it took her awhile to become comfortable around men)! Zara is still very shy about eating so I put her bowl down and walk away or feed her outside by herself. She will take a treat readily but runs away with it and eats it in privacy. Zara has become very friendly with company and looks for attention. She gets excited around other dogs and does have a high pitched bark. Zara is protective of her home without being aggressive. She doesn’t seem bothered by squirrels or cats. Zara is afraid of thunder and if there’s a storm in the night, you will have a new companion in your bed. Snuggled right in. Zara will crate and likes to be in her crate. But not with the door closed. Zara is still a little shy with men, but doesn’t run and hide anymore. Ideally, she would be happiest in an all female household as an only dog or with a male. She can be bossy with other females. Inquiries (approved adopters only!) may be sent to fosters@vgsr.org
