About Zing

Zing is a delightful 4-5 year old red heeler mix who has transformed from a life of isolation into a treasured companion. Previously tied to a tree and having raised her puppies outdoors, she came to us timid but eager for love. Initially apprehensive, Zing has learned to trust and now thrives on attention, especially when treats are involved. She can sit and shake, showcasing her intelligence and eagerness to please. Though she may be uncertain around new faces at first, Zing quickly warms up and will nudge for belly rubs once she feels comfortable. This sweet girl is both house-trained and crate-trained, making her a great addition to any home. Zing enjoys meal times, cuddle sessions, playing fetch, and exploring the outdoors. With her gentle nature and loyalty, Zing is ready to find her forever family and become the beloved princess she deserves to be.
