About Zara

Zara is a 1.5-year-old German Shepherd who has transformed beautifully after a week in foster care. She’s adjusting well to life in a home with other dogs, demonstrating a calm demeanor and a growing confidence. Zara is sweet but shy, especially around new people, so she may require some patience and understanding as she acclimates to her forever home. This young lady loves her long walks and enjoys splashing in water-filled ditches after rain. Zara has not had exposure to cats or children yet, so a gradual introduction would be best if her new family has them. She responds wonderfully to affection over treats and is eager to learn; she has picked up commands like "stop" during walks and "sit." Zara is attentive and comes when called, making her a pleasure to have around. She’s crate trained and is house trained, ready to be a reliable companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
