Story
Our Zanny is NOT for new pet owners or fosters. She is in desperate need of a family that has another high-level, massively energetic young dog already at home who needs a playmate. Having SO much energy to run around (currently, we use a 26’ retractable leash since she’s impossible to catch without one), she needs 4 small meals each day to help maintain her pleasantness. This is working most effectively for her. She is very quiet with her house-training signals, so you will want to pay close attention to the cues she gives—such as circling and quiet whimpering. She has about an hour of hardcore playtime in the morning where she play-destroys (her favorite hard toys) until her breakfast kicks in & she’s able to calm down. Zanny does well being kenneled and is accustomed to sleeping in her kennel at night. Her daily vigorousness means that all clothes and shoes, etc. need to be picked up, so that she’s not tempted to drag them around while you’re fighting with her to get them back. Along with the clothes diversion, Zanny is an ankle-biter. No seriously, she’s an ankle-biter. Her foster mom wears tall heavy slicker rain boots when she takes her outside. Fortunately, she is biting less and less when she is distracted with treats for ‘sitting’. Zanny is a Puggle, which is a breed that needs attention to how much she exercises. She will overplay and overexert herself every single time, and you need to be mindful of that. To help her overcome that intense emotion & the wind being knocked out of her when she reaches the end of the retractable leash…her foster mom has taught her how to come when she calls her name! This one distraction will prevent Zanny from reaching the end too quickly and will instead turn it into a game. Even though this is a new trick, she has 100% perfected it, & it has made ALL of the difference in her quality of play and her demeanor. Zanny is at her very best when she has finished napping after lunch, when she gives an abundance of kisses and is able to receive quality scratches. She DOES have a limit of how many scratches, but you can get many in before she reminds you :) Zanny MUST have a house that does NOT have young children or seniors living in it. She will be too much for them. She is perfectly perfect when all of these obstacles have been met, but beyond challenging if you’re not able to meet all of her needs. Our hope is that Zanny will appreciate and be the very best of friends with your dog, and they will become bonded and she will forever have a place of her own.

Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.
