Zaya has all the abundance of energy you'd expect from a young girl like her. She is into rough housing to make play time more fun. She already weighs 45 pounds and plans to be significantly bigger someday. She knows the sit command and is already house trained. When she needs to go out, she'll stand by the door and move the blinds. If you don't have blinds, she may get confused. She spent her days either crated up to four hours or freely roaming the house. She likes to lead the way on a leash in case you aren't sure which direction to go. If she runs away while off leash, she'll come back if you call her. With other dogs, she is friendly, playful, rough, and tolerant. She wants to play with dogs she meets during walks and at the dog park. She is playful with cats. With children, she is playful, rough, jumpy, and mouthy so she would be better with older ones. Until she gets some training under her belt, she'll need to live with kids at least nine years old. She loves running, ropes, balls, frisbees, and toys of all kinds. Sometime she likes being petted, but mostly she couldn't care less. She was given up because of her owner's health. She got into typical puppy trouble for chewing and racing out the door. Please offer this social butterfly the home and family she needs. (tw 3/29/2024)
