Hi there, I'm Ziva, an 87-pound German Shepherd mix who's enjoying life at her own steady pace. I'm a bit of an old lady these days and prefer to explore and do my own thing rather than chase toys around. Food and treats, though? Those definitely have my attention. I know my name, even if I sometimes choose when to listen, and I'm not shy about speaking my mind with a little old-lady howl now and then. New environments can make me a bit anxious, and you might see me pacing while I take everything in, but I truly love being outside where I can watch the world go by. I'm fairly independent and don't always seek out attention, but that doesn't mean I'm not sweet-I just show my affection in quieter ways. I move a little stiffly and may have some sore hips, so keeping me comfortable with joint supplements and regular, gentle exercise would really help me feel my best. I'd be happiest in a calm, easygoing home where I can enjoy my independence, get my daily walks to keep my joints moving, and relax knowing I'm safe. At the end of the day, I'm a gentle, loving girl who just wants a peaceful place to call home. My adoption fee of $90+tax covers the cost of my care and stay here at the humane society. All Pennington County residents must also pay an additional $8 licensing fee at time of adoption. Happy Adopting!
