About Zinny

Zinny is a delightful black schnoodle mix who came to us as a stray. Estimated to be around one year old, she was quite messy when she arrived, covered in fleas and matted fur. After a good grooming, she’s looking much better and has evicted all her unwanted guests. This sweet girl is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Zinny is crate trained and does well on a leash, and she's currently learning some basic commands. She thrives in the company of other dogs and cats and is great around children. While she can be shy with new people, she just needs a patient adopter who can help her gain confidence and adjust to her new home. Zinny is ready to start this new chapter of her life with a loving family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
