Zuma is a medium-sized terrier mix looking for a very special home with experienced, patient adopters who understand that trust takes time. She has wonderful house manners and is quiet, calm, and well-behaved indoors. With the people she knows and trusts, Zuma is affectionate, loyal, and loving. She is fearful and very reactive with new people and needs very slow, respectful introductions so she can feel safe and build confidence at her own pace. She is supported by a dedicated foster mom who regularly takes her on home visits, helping her continue to adjust and thrive in a home environment. Zuma is searching for someone who will see her potential, respect her boundaries, and give her the stability and understanding she deserves. Zuma will likely need several meet and greets with any hopeful adopter before she can be taken to foster for a trial period. Zuma would do best in an adult-only home and will only be placed with adopters who do not have children and are not planning to have children in the future.
