About

Meet Zarah

This beautiful girl is Zarah. She is an approximate 3-year-old, 48 lb., possible Border Collie mix. She is a delightful adult dog with a zest for life. She recently showcased her nurturing side by successfully weaning her nine adorable puppies. They came from Oklahoma on January 3. Now that her puppies are weened, Zarah is ready to focus on herself. Her sweet and playful nature is sure to brighten up any home. Zarah is not just playful, but she's also a smart cookie. She loves activities that stimulate her mind and body, like going for walks, playing fetch, and car rides. One of her unique traits is her love for singing. She may not hit all the right notes, but her enthusiasm is infectious. Zarah's intelligence, playfulness, and sweet nature make her an ideal companion. She has lived in a home with cats and has done well. Zarah is fully house trained and is able to free roam when left alone. She is ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving home. Adopt Zarah, and let her melodies fill your home with love and laughter! Zarah is under socialized with other dogs and has expressed some resource guarding in her foster home. She can get a bit overstimulated during play and as a result she tends to want to be dominant which can lead to physical altercations that need human intervention. She has been in a foster home with other dogs since coming into rescue with Hope, so this behavior has been worked on, and Zarah is responding well. Due to her past, she doesn't seem to be able to read the cues of other dogs all of the time and responds a bit out of fear it seems. She is a sweet, loving girl with all people though!  Mother to 9 puppies Pepe Le Pew (M)  Penelope (F)  Flower (F)  Honey Badger (F)  David Bowie (M)  Akela (M)  Mochi (F)  Kallik (F)  Yeti (M)    If you are interested in meeting Zarah, please complete an online application at  https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $250 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
