About Zara

Meet Zara, the perfect companion who’s now accepting applications for a personal belly-rub provider! At 6 years old and 69 pounds, this lovely lady is on the lookout for a serene home filled with attention. Zara absolutely loves her belly rubs, treating them not just as a greeting, but as a cherished pastime. Her previous family mentioned that she is great with children and enjoys meeting new people. A calm environment, whether it includes kids or not, would suit her perfectly—just as long as her new family has ample time for cuddles and companionship. Zara prefers to be the only dog in the household, and her history with cats remains a mystery. She is house-trained, crate-trained, but hasn’t needed a crate in several years. Zara also follows a special diet to manage her allergies, which her new family will need to maintain. If you envision quality time with a dog nestled beside you, soaking up affection, Zara is eager to meet you. Come prepared with your best belly-rubbing hand!
