Meet Zazu, the dog of your dreams! 🐾 This delightful girl is not only a spayed Pitbull mix, but she also has a heart (and eyes) of pure gold! At 5 years old and 50 pounds of joy, Zazu is looking for her forever family to bring all of her love and silliness to. Zazu's journey started back in Virginia, where she found herself in a cramped living situation that didn’t allow for the socialization and space she needed. But, oh my goodness, what a transformation she has experienced! 🌟 Now, she has settled into her foster family in Ithaca, NY, where she has blossomed into the affectionate, lively companion she was always meant to be. Let’s talk personality! Zazu is the queen of expression. Her ears perk up at the happiest words: "Walk", "Play", and "Dinner" will send her wiggling with excitement! She has the sweetest way of curling up with a sad face when her human heads out, and believe it or not, when the door swings open, her joy is contagious! She doesn’t just wag her tail; she dances! 💃 This beautiful girl has figured out the art of gentle routines and loves to stick close to her humans. Although she’s a playful spirit, Zazu also knows how to entertain herself—her foster friends say it’s her “job” to keep busy with toys and bones while they work. And when it’s time to play, her favorite game ‘Chase Zazu’ is bound to get all the giggles going! 😂 Just keep in mind, she needs a little time to warm up, so let her know you’re there for some friendly fun! Oh, and did we mention her fashionable side? Zazu enjoys wearing sweaters during the chilly NY winters and can’t resist an electric blanket! 🧣 You might even catch her snoozing like a pro under a pile of blankets, sleeping so soundly that she snores like a little train! Her previous owner, a vegetable farmer, introduced her to all kinds of yummy vegetable scraps, so be ready for a pup who's delighted by carrots and potatoes as treats. And hey, it’s tradition to celebrate her birthday with an unseasoned pork chop; can you keep that up? 🎉 Zazu is a smart cookie who has mastered commands like ‘sit’, ‘shake’, and even ‘roll over’! With positive reinforcement, she’s all set to learn even more, especially if there are treats involved! 🌼 While Zazu adores humans, she has some particular preferences. She would thrive best in a home without small dogs and cats (sorry kitties, she’s a little too much of a predator for you! 🐱). Better suited for homes with kids aged 12 and up, Zazu’s excitement could unintentionally knock over little ones! This spirited sweetheart is looking for someone who can commit to loving her fiercely—it's a two-way street! 💖 So, if you feel a spark when reading about this charming girl (and trust us, you will!), don’t wait!
