Zelda Shepherd Mix Columbia, MO

Zelda is an adventurous lady that's ready to GO! Her ideal home will be one where she's never bored. She likes to follow her nose and she's quite athletic. Since she is so agile, she can scale a fence and she is looking for a home who will take her on plenty of leashed walks. She does well with medium/larger dogs in the past, but would do best in a home without small dogs or cats and needs a slow intro when meeting big dogs.

Volunteers say:

"Zelda is a quiet, relatively calm dog and fairly easy to walk on a leash. On our walk she was very interested in smelling her surroundings, and seemed to be particularly fond of flowering plants. Zelda was receptive to us petting her and offering her treats and water. Overall she seems like a happy go lucky dog."

"Zelda is as sweet as can be. Zelda likes to find the perfect spot to roll in the grass to scratch her back, seeing new people, and just going for a good walk. Any time she was offered a treat she just calmly and quietly took it. She'd make a great companion for anyone who likes to get out for little adventures!"

"Zelda is a sweet, loving girl! She was so gentle when taking her treats and seems like she would fit well with someone who loves to explore outside and enjoy nature!"

"Want a cuddly and playful companion? Well Zelda is just the match for you. She comes when called even if she is doing something and is always down to play. Although she isn't all that interested in toys- all of her attention is on you. When you get tired or are just feelin lazy, Zelda understands and comes to you ready for tons of pets. She also takes treats very sweetly and gently."

"Zelda is a little explorer who loves to spend time with someone. She loves a good ear scratch and belly rub, and will happily prance by you. Zelda would be a great dog for someone looking for a jogging partner!"

"Zelda is a sweet dog who is calm when you are, she is always down to play and take off running when you are. When its time to calm down again she does a great job following your actions. She loves treats and knows when the bag of treats is coming out. She loves spontaneous bursts of running during her walks but always loves to take a break and sit down with you."

"If you like blondes, you will love Zelda. She is a beautiful golden puppy. She has a smile and eyes that will have you falling in love with her. She is so welcoming and wants to show her affection. She seems very smart and young enough I think she will train easily."

"One can tell almost immediately that Zelda has a wonderfully sweet heart. She is gentle, curious, and a bit shy, but what really strikes you is how much she wants to explore. Zelda is a dog that belongs in the wilderness where she can find as many new scents as she likes. However, in addition to this independence is a heart that wants to be with you and she will sit with you on a bench if you want. Zelda is a very special dog."

"Zelda is favorite little wiggle worm, she wiggled her way into our hearts with her curious and social nature. This girl is always ready to give kisses and explore the world around her by your side."

"Zelda is a the sweetest girl with lots of energy. She loves to explore when going on a walk. She hasn't quite learned commands but I can tell she will learn quick. She loves treats and takes them from you so gently. She loves kisses on the head and will give you kisses right back."

"Zelda was sweet and enjoyed receiving some light pets. She ate a few treats on the walk, but was mostly interested in exploring and smelling all the scents along the trail. She seemed to be unfamiliar with walking on a leash, and pulled somewhat while walking. Was very interested in the other people and birds we saw from a distance."
