Story
Meet Zola!
This gorgeous 47-pound, long-haired shepherd has so much quiet charm and personality once you get to know her. Don’t let her age fool you - this girl is active and playful. She loves to spend her days keeping the area squirrel free while on a long walks, and her evenings relaxing, sticking close to her humans. Zola isn’t the type to demand attention right away—she prefers to build trust at her own pace. She’s a sensitive girl who will simply remove herself from situations that make her uncomfortable, so a patient home that understands her boundaries will help her truly shine.
She’s spent time around her foster family's young nephews and did just fine but kids aren't her favorite. She prefers the company of other dogs—especially large dogs or even confident small dogs. She can also live with confident cats who won’t run from her, as she does have a high prey drive and will chase if something takes off. If her animal friends stand their ground, she’s happy to coexist peacefully.
Zola absolutely LOVES being outside. Whether she’s wandering the yard or heading out on a walk, that’s her happy place. On leash, she has a bit of a quirky zig-zag style—she doesn’t pull, just explores the world in her own unique way.
And when it comes to playtime? She’s all in. Tug is her favorite, and she’ll proudly bring you her toys to get the game started. It’s adorable and one of the many ways she shows her affectionate side.
Zola is looking for a home that will give her time, respect, and love—and in return, you’ll get a loyal, playful, and beautifully unique companion.
If you’re the kind of person who understands that the best relationships are built on trust, Zola might just be your girl!
