About Zeb And Zena

Zeb and Zena are a bonded pair of Chorkies looking for a quiet, adult-only household. Both are small and under 25 lbs, Zeb is 6 years old and neutered, and Zena is 7 and spayed. They’ve always had access to a fenced yard, so a home with outdoor space would be ideal for them. Zeb and Zena aren’t comfortable around children—they’ll growl if little ones are around, so they need a child-free home. Meeting new people can make them nervous, but once they’ve had time to adjust, they turn into sweet lap companions who come to you on their terms. They don’t like to be picked up and will need patience as they decompress and reestablish routines like potty training after their time in the shelter. If your home is calm and you’re willing to give them a few weeks to settle in, these two will reward you with loyal companionship. They’ll need to meet other dogs first, and their compatibility with cats can be tested. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
