About ZOLA (Beautiful, Affectionate, Loyal, Friendly)

My name is Zola, and I'm a beautiful, affectionate, and loyal 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who weighs around 64 pounds. My tail starts wagging the moment I see new people – I just love making friends and going for walks to explore all the exciting new smells the world has to offer. Whether I'm out for a playful run or happily darting around the house, my joyful energy is absolutely contagious! I'm house and crate trained, walk nicely on a leash, and I'm wonderfully loyal, just like you'd expect from my shepherd roots. I also do great with other dogs and would make an amazing partner for outdoor adventures, after which I'd love to come inside and relax with my favorite person. I was found in a rural area with another dog named Zalla, but thankfully, Mrs. Natalie couldn't leave us behind and gave us a second chance at a loving home. While we think I might be a German Shepherd mix, possibly related to Zalla, one thing is for sure – I'm beautiful inside and out and ready to become a cherished member of a forever family.

Ideal Home

I'd love a home where I can share my joyful energy and then cozy up with my people.

Ongoing Health

I am spayed, microchipped, and current on all my shots.

Training & Support

I'm already house and crate trained, and I walk nicely on a leash. I'm eager to please and ready to learn anything new!
