About Zara

Zara is about two years old and weighs around 65 pounds. She's a mix of Great Dane and Rhodesian Ridgeback, lively enough for a round of zoomies but equally content to stretch out and relax in the sun or curl up under a blanket. Zara enjoys time outdoors, especially casual nature walks, and bonds closely with her people. She’s happiest when she has another friendly dog around to share her days with—Zara truly thrives with a canine companion. With a sharp mind and a love of treats, Zara picks up on new routines quickly. She’s crate trained and appreciates affection, yet remains independent when she needs her own space. Crowds and unfamiliar faces, especially men and children, can make her uneasy; a calm, quiet home with adults would suit her best. Once Zara feels at ease, she’s a soft-hearted, loyal dog who wants nothing more than sunny afternoons and steady companionship. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
