My story

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

Zara is a 4 year old, 14 lb chiweenie.She takes some time to warm up to people. Once she knows you though, she can never seem to get close enough when it comes to snuggling. She has a bit of a troubled past; she was a rescue from a pet hoarding home. She holds a lot of fear and anxiety, which makes her not ideal for small children or chaotic households. Can be fear aggressive, but keep in mind she can be sweet once the trust is built, which normally doesn't take more than a few days. She is house and crate trained. She loves to sit on your lap and snooze while you watch tv or read. The ideal home would be calm and without small children, somewhere she could get a lot of love and attention. She gets along great with other dogs, however does not like cats. She has been with our family for 2 loving years, however our 2 year old son has gotten to an age where his energy and the chaos it brings has become very frightening to Zara, which is why we are heartbreakingly looking to rehome her.
