Zora is a sweet, quietly charming girl who will make any house feel softer with her gentle presence. She's a homebody at heart, often found proudly parading a toy around or redecorating with blankets and stray socks. When she wants affection, she'll give a polite nudge with her nose and a loving gaze. We estimate Zora to be 5-7 years old and she weighs around 64lbs. She's likely a German Shepherd mix.
Ideal Home
Zora would thrive in a single-level home with minimal stairs to protect her hips. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would love a playful canine friend to share her steady, friendly, and routine-based life with. While she can be nervous meeting new people, especially in public, she warms up quickly when allowed to approach at her own pace, particularly if people are seated. A home that prefers cozy nights in over constant outings would be ideal.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Zora is house-trained with no indoor accidents and is not destructive. She is quiet in her crate, where she is housed during the day and overnight. She is leash-trained and enjoys chew toys, though she may grumble if another dog tries to take one – her fosters describe this as "all bark and no bite." She can be afraid of vacuums and occasionally strangers, so a patient and gentle approach is recommended to help her build trust.
