Zaria is a 5-year-old Boxer mix in Boston, MA who brings devotion and a playful spirit to the table. Medium energy suits her best: she’s always ready for a round of fetch or tug but settles in for a deep nap with ease. Zaria has lived with both cats and dogs; she tends to ignore confident, dog-savvy cats and does best with dogs after slow, steady introductions. She wouldn’t mind being your only pet, either. Around people, Zaria shows warmth and excitement—sometimes a bit too much bounce, so she’s best with older, dog-savvy kids (13+). She looks to her humans for reassurance in new situations and enjoys a neighborhood stroll. This girl is sharp and motivated. Zaria knows plenty of commands already and thrives when learning new things. She’s fully house trained and crate trained—her crate is both her safe spot and where she sleeps best. Zaria needs an experienced, patient adopter who can offer her routine and structure as she continues to blossom. Born at the end of August, she’s a Virgo: smart, loyal, and loves feeling useful.
