Here's what the humans have to say about me:
💫 ZIP 💫
Zip is a 6-8 year old, 12 pound female spayed Chihuahua-Papillon Mix (best guess) that was found as a stray by a kind Samaritan after being abandoned by her previous owner, who had tried to surrender her to a private shelter but didn’t make an appointment (as required). Unfortunately, rather than follow through or go to the public county shelter, the owner left her behind. Thankfully, the Good Samaritans husband was able to scoop her up with a blanket & they took her to the vet to have her checked out. The vet discovered that Zip had some benign masses on her paw pads and a luxating patella. Otherwise, she was in good health — just scared and unsure of the world around her. She’s spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention.
Zip will need a patient home that understands scared & insecure dogs. One that will help her shine & be a braver version of herself. She is already shining in the care of her foster parents – she ADORES her Foster Dad (it took her about 5-6 days to get to this but she had also been thru a mess of a storm those first few days with being dumped, shots & learning a new place) & is starting to warm up to Foster Mom (despite mom being the one who feeds her, takes her out, and first spotted her — silly girl!).
Once she connects with you, she is a very affectionate girl & when you're sitting on the couch, she'll want to be right next to you. Zip loves being outdoors so a secured, fenced in yard would be her most ideal home. She also loves car rides & is also food motivated with a good, hearty appetite. She is currently recovering from having the masses removed from her paw (benign) as well as the MPL surgery so she will need to stay secured on a leash for walks around the house & in the yard during this recovery time as well as no jumping up or off of couches or beds. Dr’s orders.
Due to her skittish behavior when first meeting new people, an adult home only is recommended (although I am optimistically hopeful that with some socialization & proper introductions, she will be ok with older, dog savvy kids coming over for visits as she just needs her space).
Zip has not had one accident & absolute loves her Foster Fursibling (dog). We’re unsure about cats.

📍 Due to Zip’s surgery & recovery appointments, our adoption radius has been reduced to 150 miles from Jacksonville, FL (please be sure you are able to make this commute or have a strong relationship with your vet to take over her post-op care). All other pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention.
