Meet Zelda! 🐾

Looking for a loyal sidekick who is equal parts cuddle buddy, walking partner, and all-around sweetheart? Meet Zelda!

Zelda is a 1–2-year-old, 45-pound stubby Collie mix with a wonderful personality and an easygoing nature. She is fully house-trained, well-mannered in the home, and happiest when she's by your side—whether you're working at your desk, relaxing on the couch, or watching your favorite show.

This lovely girl enjoys long walks and is a dream on leash. She loves getting out and exploring, but she's just as happy settling in close to her people afterward. Zelda has never met a stranger and greets everyone she meets with a friendly, happy attitude.

In her foster home, Zelda lives with two other dogs and gets along beautifully with both of them. She enjoys canine companionship, but she also loves being the center of attention and may thrive as an only dog where she can soak up all the love for herself.

Zelda truly is a gem—sweet, affectionate, well-behaved, and ready to become someone's best friend. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will happily join you for adventures and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Zelda may be the perfect match.

Apply today to meet Zelda and see why everyone who meets her falls in love!

She is scheduled to be spayed on 6/17!

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
