Story
My name is Cindy Lou. I am as sweet as the day is long. I am 65 lbs, 6 years old, a Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepherd mix and... I am a tripod! I was surrendered by my owners when they had to move. They had too many dogs to take with them. I am overweight. My first plan is to lose a good 10 lbs. A steady diet and some mild exercise will do it. Once those pounds are off, I will be able to move around on my three legs with more zest. I am a well rounded (no pun intended) dog with a lot of life ahead of me. Kids, cats and dogs all good for me. I spend my day hanging out with my dog friends, lounging in the sun, roaming around the backyard and saying hello to the cats! I am good with kids, housebroken and nope - I don't need the crate. In terms of my health, I can certainly move around and even get into a light jog! I can walk up and down stairs. Once I feel a bit lighter, I will be much better off and more spry. I can absolutely go on mild walks. I am a normal and wonderful dog, just with one less. Single family homes please. Here is an application for me if you are interested: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
Hi, I'm Willa! I'm about 8 months old and weigh 56 pounds, but don't let my size fool you — I'm a gentle, friendly girl with a calm nature that seems wise beyond my puppy years. I was found wandering the streets as a stray, and I'm one of the lucky ones who landed somewhere safe. Sadly, not all bigger dogs get that same chance. My eyes say it all; I am an old soul. My coloring, stature, and adorable ears give away my likely family tree. We're pretty sure I'm a German Shepherd/Hound mix. I'm completely dog-friendly, housebroken, and comfortable in a gated-off area (or a crate, if that's what you prefer). I'm still growing! I may reach around 65 pounds when I'm fully grown. My home should be patient, kind, willing to let me adjust and understand that us dogs need some transition time too. I have not met really young kids so kids 10+ is a good start. I have only been friendly and kind. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Copper. I am 14 years old and 50 lbs. I am currently Ziva's golden boy and truly something special. I am a gentleman who found myself as a stray and ultimately ended up in the shelter system. I was uncomfortable and struggling, yet remained incredibly friendly, easygoing, and mild-mannered. Thanks to some wonderful people down in Georgia, I got my freedom flight and a front-row seat to CT. Now, I am enjoying the sublime comfort of soft beds and cozy blankets, along with short, gentle hikes and the companionship of other dogs. We know that not everyone wants a 14 year old dog; I get it! But, if you are a person who loves the seniors and yearns to spoil a dog like me; I will happily consider you and give you so much in return. The vet said I am a healthy dog for my age. I do not appear to be in pain or any distress. I have an old injury to a leg which does not bother me and my joints seem to be doing okay. Yes, I can still do stairs! I need comfy beds, some nice strolls, yummy meals and a warm body to snuggle with and get pets. I am great with everything - cats nor dogs bother me. I'm just so happy to be where I am... finally. My fee is reduced. If you have a home and the means to give me everything I need in my golden years, please apply. I am located in CT. https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
Hi, my name is Rambo! I’m 12-weeks-old, weigh about 13lbs (I’ll probably be in the 35 to 45 lb range fully grown) and I’m so excited to start my new life with you! I just moved here from Texas and everything is so new. I am pretty mellow - I warm up, but I might need a second - I love to observe before I interact. I'm still a baby and the world is so new to me!. I really like to play with other dogs of any size. And I bond to the humans who care for me pretty quickly. Humans are really nice, in my experience. In Texas, I lived with cats, chickens, and small humans, too. I love everyone and, oh yeah, did I mention how much I love snacks....if you see me, please give me a snack. If you'd like to adopt me (and I hope you do) please fill out this form and the humans who keep my little puppy belly fed will get back to you...while I take a much-deserved nap. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

Story
My name is Mitch. I have a story. I have a story of hope and luck and chance. Here is my abbreviated version: I was saved by a wonderful family from the streets of Texas - I was starved, hot and thirsty. This family ended up welcoming me into their home in the Northeast. They wanted to see my care through in the hopes they would be my forever people. I love them so much, I could not have asked for better care. But, I am not thriving in my urban environment. It's not their fault - it's where they live and that can't be changed right now. I deserve to be relaxed and at ease and as much as we all wish it was different, it just isn't. So my fabulous humans reached out to Ziva Dog Rescue to help me find the perfect home that I deserve so much. Facts: I am 7 years old. I am a Great Pyrenees Mix. I am about 70 lbs but when I fill out should probably be closer to 80. I am tall, lean and graceful. I am housebroken and I am a mature adult so no crate needed nor am I into those either. I am friendly with everyone - kids, cats and dogs. I am even friendly with horses and chickens. I frequent a farm and love being around animals of all kinds. I am a southern gentleman and when I greet you, I will literally shake your hand. I have that amazing "Pyr paw" going. A fenced in yard is ideal for my breed mix. I need a family that can also take me on walks because I seem to like those when I am not in the midst of many moving cars, loud trains and many people like I am on the city streets. I enjoy coffee shops, bookstores and social settings. I love the woods and going on short hikes. I am very attached to my people and want them around more often than not. Who can blame me... who knows what my life has been until now. I don't want to let this chance go. I will melt your heart when you meet me. Truly. All of these steps and the effort of so many people are going to lead me to exactly where I am supposed to be. I am located in the NJ area.

Story
My name is Darcy. I am just about the full package in a compact frame. I am about 50 lbs (a little chubby but thats fine) and almost two years old. I am young and fun but also well behaved and easy to have around. I am housebroken, crate trained and just fine when left alone for a few hours. I am incredibly smart and attentive. I absolutely adore my humans and all the other humans. I have never met at stranger. I know my basic commands and I am very food motivated. I walk well on the leash and love to go for strolls. I love toys especially those squeaky toys. I have interacted with dogs outside of my home and did well. I seem interested in playing sometimes but generally aloof to most of the canines. My focus is all on my humans. I don't need those other dogs. Being an only dog would be ideal so I don't have any competition! I had puppies at 10 months old. I nursed them, took great care of them and they all found homes. I know my home is out there... but, sometimes for us adults, it just takes a little longer to find. No cats please.
