My name is ZIRA!

CURRENTLY IN TEMPORARY FOSTER CARE! PLEASE ALL 801-675-8590 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING ZIRA!

REPORTED BY FOSTER:
Zira is an amazing dog. She doesn`t bark outside, takes treats from hands very gently, fast learner, great with other dogs, crate trained and very loving. She has learned how to use a dog door in just a few days. She would do best with older, dog-savvy children. She goes for hands when she`s excited or sometimes lonely. I believe it`s puppy behavior because it`s not aggressive. When I say leave it-she removes her teeth from my hands. It doesn`t hurt but she backs down with the correction. She loves belly rubs. She follows me everywhere. She is not housetrained. She goes through the dog doors but if I`m not there she won`t continue to go outside. I have to go outside with her and she has to see me there to feel confident to go outside. Would do best with someone that stays at home most of the time. With the right home and training she would be amazing!


OBSERVED BY SHELTER STAFF:
Zira is shy around people she doesn’t know, but is getting used to the big world! She does best with someone that has a slow, gentle approach and lets her get used to them. She jumps and air comps when she’s excited, walks well on the leash and knows the sit command. Zira has a minor bite history; a release of liability form will need to be signed upon adoption.

Zira’s a very sweet dog that will form a bond with you when you give her time. She’s treat-motivated and is gentle when taking them from your hand. She would most likely chase a cat unless trained not to. She previously lived with other dogs and can be a little bossy toward the dogs here in our playgroups, but overall is a good girl.

Weighs 48 pounds; $25 to adopt
