Zora is the kind of dog who makes a house feel softer just by being in it, side of giggles included as she can usually be found proudly carrying a toy around giving it a bit of a house tour. She is a gentle, sweet, and quietly charming companion. Zora asks for affection with a little nose nudge and a calm, "excuse me, pets please" presence delivered with her warm eyes. She also likes to drag blankets and random items around the house like she's casually redecorating. Though we cannot guarantee age or breed given Zora is a rescue, we estimate she is 5-7 years old, weighs 64lbs, and is likely a German Shepherd mix. Zora is a homebody at heart who likes calm routines, friendly dog company, and a soft place to land. She can be nervous when meeting new people, especially out in public, but she does better when folks are sitting down and letting her approach at her own pace. Once she decides you're safe, she'll show you a sweet tail wag, a gentle paw, and a polite nose nudge. She's not a big cuddler, but she absolutely enjoys love and will happily request it on her terms.
Ideal Home
Zora's ideal home would be a single-level home with minimal or no stairs, so her hips can keep young. She does well with normal activity in the home and genuinely enjoys other dogs' company, so she'd love a home with a playful doggie friend where things feel steady, friendly, and routine-based. She's more comfortable meeting guests in the home than in public.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Zora is house-trained with zero indoor accidents and has never chewed furniture. She is quiet in her crate, where she is crated during the day and overnight. She prefers to potty outside on grass and can go 8+ hours without a potty accident. She is used to walking on a leash and has been working on kennel/crate routines. Zora is afraid of vacuums and occasionally strangers, so she'll do best with a patient, gentle approach that lets her build trust at her own pace.
