About Zsa Zsa Gabor

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Can you believe this little cutie, Zsa Zsa Gabor, was once facing an uncertain future in a desert shelter? Thankfully, she’s now safe, loved, and ready to meet her forever family! Zsa Zsa is a tiny bundle of joy, weighing under 8 lbs and just a little over a year old. Her playful, cuddly nature shines through, and her soulful eyes are sure to win you over in an instant. She especially loves snuggling and fits right in with dogs of all sizes and ages. Zsa Zsa was born with a birth defect called ectopic ureter. Although she has already had surgery with limited success, she may always have minor leakage. She is considered a special-needs adoption for this reason, but she’s house trained and simply needs an occasional cute little pantie—something she takes with playful acceptance. None of this slows her down: Zsa Zsa is still bouncy, happy, and full of affection to offer! She is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, making her ready for her next adventure. Zsa Zsa is available for adoption in Southern California, especially South Orange County. Zsa Zsa is a resilient and loving gem who has overcome so much. She can’t wait to find her perfect match and start her new chapter surrounded by care. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
