Here's what the humans have to say about me:
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY ONLY
Meet Zelda, the 3-year-young Chihuahua/Schnauzer Terrier mix you've been waiting for! This 7.6lb gal is as sweet as sugar - and if you're looking for the lapdog of your dreams, Zelda is it! Zelda has a heart full of love to give, and she's always ready with kisses for his human friends.
* Cats and dogs? Zelda gets along with both! Zelda currently has a foster brother in a big orange tabby kitty and does well giving him his space. Zelda is fostered with 5 other Chihuahuas who are all smaller than her, and she loves to play and run around with them in the yard and around the house! We think Zelda would be a great addition to a household with other dogs of her size, and she may even be good as an only dog as well as long as she has people to socialize with. She loves everybody she meets!
* Great on leash and in the car, oh my! Zelda loves her walks and enjoys car rides as well! She is ready to be your ride along gal!
* Bath time and pedicure OK! Zelda's low maintenance coat that is uniquely short besides her beautiful mullet and semi-bushy tail is a dream for the low-maintenance type paw-rents! Zelda's foster mom has been helping her get used to having her teeth brushed daily to keep her pearly whites shining, trim her nails, and be open to bath time! She stands still for you to brush her face and around her mouth. We believe with consistency, Zelda will come to enjoy her spa days at home or at the groomer :)
* Great at potty training! This little girl has an unknown past, but has been doing great with potty training, recognizing pee pads when there is no access to the yard while her fosters are away. When she is let out every few hours, Zelda has been great with her potty manners.
* Perfect WFH buddy! If you're working from home, she's the perfect companion, snoozing quietly while you focus on your tasks.
Zesty Zelda is the perfect addition to any loving home, and she can't wait to share her affection with you. If you're ready for a lifetime of cuddles, kisses, and companionship, Zelda is your gal!
