Here's what the humans have to say about me:
COURTESY POSTING-Please read bottom for details
She’s cute, she’s sweet, and oh so funny. Her name is Zelda, aka Princess Zelda, and she is a Shih-Tzu/Chihuahua mix looking for her forever home here in Portland, Oregon.
Zelda is your typical playful puppy. She LOVES to play and run around all day long. She’s only about 8 weeks old, so Zelda still has all her puppy stages to go through, so be ready to fully puppy-proof your house! Zelda is young and needs plenty of exercise to keep her happy. She can play all day long, and doesn’t like to be left alone. She will follow her people around all day long, but loves to play with her dog friends as well. Although Zelda will need a dog brother or sister who can put up with her puppy pesky-ness, Zelda’s only other request is that the other dogs in her new home are similar in size to her (small/medium). Zelda also wouldn’t mind living with a dog savvy cat, one she can play with!
Zelda has a condition that sometimes affects smaller breed dogs, it’s known as a collapsing trachea. It does not need treatment and cannot be cured, the only special treatment Zelda will need is to be walked on a harness ONLY. She can wear a collar to hold her identification, but any pulling on her neck will make it hard for her to breathe.
This little princess is a wonderful puppy who deserves all the love in the world! Zelda prefers someone who can be home with her most of the day as she loves to be with her people, but is also learning to be happy in her kennel for those times she will have to be away from her people for short amounts of time. She still needs some help with potty training, and will need someone who is dedicated to using positive training to learn some basic training! She’s a spunky little girl with a lot of attitude and an even greater amount of love to give. She deserves the world and she’s looking for a wonderful family who wants to give it to her!
