**Fence Required - Fostered in Gulf Breeze, Florida** Zelda is a 2-year-old sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. If you’re looking for a dog who truly wants to be your companion, Zelda is your girl. She absolutely adores humans of all ages and would happily spend her day right by your side soaking up affection. Zelda is what many people call a “velcro dog.” She loves to be close—whether that means leaning against you, climbing up for a hug, or putting her paws on your shoulders to say hello. Belly rubs, kisses, and cuddles are some of her favorite things, and she thrives with someone who enjoys a dog that’s very affectionate and people-focused. She’s house trained, has great leash manners, and rides well in the car. At home she can free roam during the day and sleeps in a crate at night. Zelda has a playful, energetic side and enjoys being outside in the yard, but she’s also perfectly happy to nap on the couch for most of the day as long as she’s near her person. Zelda gets along well with other dogs—she happily plays with younger pups and respectfully leaves older dogs alone. She would do great as an only dog soaking up all the attention or with a compatible playmate. She’s likely fine with cats, though proper introductions would be best. Because Zelda can be a bit anxious when left alone for long periods, she would do best in a home where someone is around more often. She may have an occasional accident if left longer than about three hours. One thing to know about this smart girl: she’s an impressive climber! Zelda will need a tall, secure fence, as she has been known to climb a 6-foot fence or jump to peek over it. She loves spending time outdoors, so a safe yard will make her very happy. Zelda is still learning her name, but she responds well when you get her attention and listens when told “no” or “down.” She’s eager to connect with her people and will thrive with someone willing to continue guiding her. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate dog who wants to be involved in everything you do, Zelda is ready to be your loyal companion. Zelda is a very sweet girl who can’t wait to find the person she can love with her whole heart. ❤️ Zelda is spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.
