About Zinzi

Zinzi, whose name means 'beautiful life' or 'blessing,' is a remarkable survivor, having battled parvovirus in her early days. Now fully recovered, this charming German Shepherd and Heeler mix is thriving and ready to find her forever home. At just 3 months, Zinzi weighs over 20 pounds and will grow into a large dog with a sleek black coat adorned with white and cream accents. Her sweet nature shines through in her interactions with other dogs, where she shows her submissive side. While initial shyness may greet new people, Zinzi quickly warms up, offering affectionate kisses and rolling over for belly rubs. This lovable pup is both intelligent and goofy, always eager to entertain with her playful antics. Zinzi has mastered commands like sit, shake, and spin, often trying to guess which trick to perform next. A home with at least one other dog would help her continue to learn and keep her company. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
