About Zelda

Meet Zelda, a lively baby dog with a playful spirit. She's an Anatolian Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog mix, full of energy and curiosity. Zelda enjoys her time indoors and has shown great promise with her potty training—she just needs to be taken out after meals and play sessions. Currently, she sleeps in a crate and is learning basic commands like sit, lay down, and come. Though she lived with a cat, she tends to be nippy at times, especially when she's excited. She loves a good car ride and chases her tail with glee. Zelda does experience some separation anxiety, so an experienced adopter would be ideal for her. She's ready to find a loving home where she can thrive and continue her training. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
