My story

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

Zira here, what's your name? I'm a sweet senior gal looking for a soft place to land for my golden years. I might be a tad shy on first meeting, but can you blame me? I'm a big fan of little kids, tasty treats and taking it easy. Cats seem like they are meant for chasing and I'm comfortable with other dogs until there's food involved (I'm not a fan of sharing snacks or other high value items). I guess the short version is that I never thought I'd be without a family to love but here I am. Maybe you've been looking for a dog like me?
