About Zarina

Zarina is a 1-year-old Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a talent for diplomacy. While other dogs bluster, Zarina rolls over in greeting and seems to ask for friendship (or maybe a snack). She reads social cues like a seasoned mediator—when bumped by another dog, she apologizes first and means it. Zarina gets along with everyone: dogs, cats, and kids all fit into her peace-loving worldview. She is potty trained, kennel trained, spayed, and vaccinated. Gentle is her default setting; she drifts quietly after her people, observes household goings-on, and sunbathes with the poise of a retiree in the Mediterranean. Zarina prefers to have another dog near her size for company and leans toward calm routines and yard time. Her peaceful nature stands out in a world full of chaos and drama—she keeps things easy and light. If more dogs acted like Zarina, playgroups might be world summits. Fun fact: with a birthday on February 27, Zarina is a Pisces—a true gentle soul. Click apply to start the adoption process.
