Hi… my name is Zara 🐾🌸 I came all the way from Mississippi, where my journey started in a very scary way. I was found wandering on a busy highway, unsure of where to go or who to trust. When a kind volunteer finally reached me, I was so frightened that I gently lay down on the ground in submission 😔. I didn’t know what would happen next—but it turns out, it was the beginning of something better. I’m a sensitive girl and I’m still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. I’ll need a patient and loving family who understands that trust takes time 💗. I may be shy at first, and when I feel overwhelmed, I sometimes try to hide. That’s why I would do best in a calm home with older kids (15+) who can give me space and kindness when I need it. Other dogs can make me nervous at first—especially if there are a lot of them—but I would love to have one confident dog friend 🐶 who can help show me that life can be fun and safe. Once I get to know you, I warm up pretty quickly and turn into a total sweetheart. I promise! 💕 I’m a medium‑energy girl, which is pretty perfect for my age 🌼. I enjoy playtime, but comfort is very important to me too. I love my toys—they make me feel safe and happy, and you’ll often see me keeping one close 🧸. You might notice in my pictures that my ears are back and I’m low to the ground. That’s just me still learning to feel brave. I promise I do have the cutest ears 🥰, I do walk (and quite nicely!), and I’m about 5000% more beautiful in person. A fenced yard would be perfect for me so I can explore safely and build confidence at my own pace 🌳. I’ve been through a lot, but I’m ready for my fresh start. I’m dreaming of a home where I can finally relax, let loose, and be happy again 🏡✨. Give me a little patience and love, and I’ll give you my whole heart—and be your best friend for life 💞. If you think you might be my person or family, please apply for me today. I can’t wait to start making memories together 🐾💖 Love, Zara 🐶💕 If interested in Zara, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at Info.FetchingHeartsRescue@gmail.com.
