Zara

Zara is a beautiful, curious, and bouncy young pup with a heart as big as her energy! She is approximately 1.5 years old and is a mix of silly and shy. She’s affectionate and hilarious with those she trusts - she’ll roll over for belly rubs, bury her head in pillows, and flash her goofy grin with her tongue out. She loves being close by with her people, soaking in the love.<br/><br/>Zara is ball-obsessed! She’ll play for hours if you let her and loves taking her beloved tennis ball to the water bowl for breaks. She loves treats and enjoys puzzle toys and lick mats with peanut butter. <br/><br/>She’s very active and thrives on daily walks, structured play, and mental stimulation. She walks beautifully on a leash, knows sit, down, heel, “go to bed,” and is working on “here.” She’s crate trained, housebroken, and responds well to routine.<br/><br/>Zara takes time to warm up to new people and dogs, so slow introductions are key. She's non-reactive on walks, but if someone approaches too quickly, she may bark. With patience, treats, and encouragement, she builds trust. She’s also shown calm curiosity around cats.<br/><br/>Zara’s Ideal Home:<br/>- An active household that enjoys walks and hikes<br/>- A fenced yard for ball throwing and outdoor playtime<br/>- A patient, confident adopter committed to continued training and helping her build confidence<br/>- Someone who sees her potential as a loyal adventure buddy<br/><br/>Zara is up-to-date on all vaccinations, spayed and microchipped! She is currently being fostered in Newberg, OR.
