Meet 2412-1072 Zaria

ZARIA - 6 months - 1 year old, 35 pounds, house trained, energetic, puppy jumping, great with children.  Zaria is just a big puppy who was abandoned at a relative’s house. This sad chain of events doesn’t seem to have affected her, though, bc she is happy and bouncy and still so full of life!  Zaria was all over the place outside, sniffing, running, chasing and then all over me when she figured out I had treats! Yes, she loves to eat and she loves treats.  She actually didn’t leave my side when the treats came out but instead would jump right up in my face to get the treat. Puppy anyone? Zaria will need some obedience training, all puppies do. She’ll benefit from that one on one time with you, learning new ways to channel that energy and at the same time, bond with you. We are told she doesn’t like other dogs.  We  do not know how she feels about cats although that puppy energy might be a bit too much for a cat.  If you are ready for a puppy, puppy energy, puppy behaviors, puppy mouthiness, and if you have the time to devote to training, attention, exercise and playtime, come out to meet Zaria! She is currently in a back kennel so if you don’t see her, please just ask!
