Meet Zola! This beautiful long-haired shepherd, weighing around 47 pounds, has a charming personality just waiting to be discovered. At nine and a half years old, Zola remains active and playful, spending her days keeping squirrels at bay on leisurely walks and her evenings relaxing close to her humans. She takes her time to build trust, so it's essential for her to find a patient home that respects her boundaries. Though she has spent time around young kids, they're not her favorite. Zola really enjoys the company of other dogs, especially large or confident small ones. She can also coexist with confident cats, as long as they don't run away from her. She's got a bit of a high prey drive but prefers peace when her friends stand their ground. This lovely girl thrives outdoors. Whether in the yard or on a walk, being outside makes her happy. On a leash, you might notice her quirky zig-zag style—she explores the world her way without pulling. Zola is also a playtime enthusiast, especially when tug-of-war is involved. She'll proudly bring her toys to you to kick off the fun. Zola deserves a home filled with love and respect. If you're someone who believes in building trust in relationships, she might be just the right companion for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
