My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Ziva and I am a 6yr old female Golden/Husky/Collie mix. I am a very sweet girl and love to be around my human family. I love car rides, going outside, going for walks and just vegging on the couch with you. I do like to sleep with my humans as well and will follow you everywhere. I am great with men, women and children. I love children and am very careful around them, I lived with them in my first family and my best friend was thier autistic son.
I have a little of each breed in me, I look like a golden and have the temperment of a golden, I have some collie and I am smart like one. I have the double coat and webbed feet of a Husky so that does mean, I do shed just like a Husky does. I also can jump over low fences and will jump and run, in my old nieghborhood I would go to all the houses to visit and yes animal control knew who I was. I would need a yard that has a pretty high fence to run in and or walks on a leash, never left to unsupervised to handle my own entertainment or I could get hurt running around.
I use to live with other dogs/cats and did fine with them, I did have food aggression with the other animals so I was just feed alone, I was NEVER aggresive towards humans. I have moved to 2 different homes to get into my foster home and this stress and missing my family could be playing a large part in my possible aggression/dominance issue. It has been decided I will be the only dog in the family unless you are very dog savy and can prove so. I get jealous if another dog gets attention, I have to show I am the Alpha and I am to big for any smaller pup. I would do best in a home who would love to dot on me and would be happy with me as the only dog.
I am fully vetted/Spayed/Microchipped/Heartworm Neg
I am housebroken
I am crate trained
I am an owner surrender, my family lost their home and sadly all of us pets had to find new homes as well. I lived with a full family with a Mom, Dad and 5 kids, cats and 2 other dogs along with me.. My family was very heart broken to have to give me up, they tried everything to find a way to keep me in the family. They thought they had one but it fell thru and I was left in the house alone till a plcae could be found for me. I am looking for my forever home.. Could that be you?

*** Please be patient, we are a very small organization and we all sadly have to work and have families just like you. We also know the excitement of finding a pet that could be your furever family member and we receive numerous inquiries
from other families who feel the same way. Our primary goal is matching the perfect family with our pups and do not practice first come, first serve. We are setting up many meet and greets with our pups and the family could be found prior to you even getting to meet them. We will make sure all potential adopters who inquired are updated if the pup has been adopted. We do not want to waste anyone's time and recommend you keep looking while you wait to hear from us and as always Thank You for adopting and not shopping. ***
Adoption applications will be sent via email only, we do not have them posted online anywhere or on a website.
