Zelda has been a fighter from the very beginning. She came into our care from our friends at a local shelter. She was the kind of dog we simply couldn’t walk away from—the kind who would have stayed on our minds forever. At the time, she was at risk of euthanasia. She had previously suffered a broken pelvis that healed on its own, and she was also pregnant. We didn’t have every detail of a plan in place, but we knew one thing: we had to help her. One call to a dedicated board member and repeat foster was all it took—we couldn’t even finish explaining before she said yes. And just like that, Zelda’s next chapter began. Her journey has had plenty of twists and turns, but today the most important update is this: Zelda is here, she’s thriving, and she’s still adoptable. Zelda is currently fostered with three other dogs and does beautifully with them. They cuddle, coexist peacefully, play and give each other space—it’s truly heartwarming to see. She forms deep bonds with her people, and once she decides you’re hers, her loyalty is unmatched.
Ideal Home

Ongoing Health
Zelda has previously suffered a broken pelvis that healed on its own.
Training & Support
Zelda is potty trained and currently on a consistent schedule. As with any dog transitioning to a new home, there may be a short adjustment period, but with patience and routine, she settles in quickly.
