About Zi

Meet Zi, a sweet Australian Cattle Dog mix. She loves the company of her buddy Turbo and enjoys playing with squeaky toys as well as snuggling up for naps in bed.

She’s lived harmoniously with children, large dogs, and even cats, though slow introductions will help ease the transition. This lovable girl is spayed and ready for her next chapter. Think you can provide the nurturing environment she deserves?
