Zelda's Story

MEET ZELDA<br/><br/>**Fence Required - Fostered in Gulf Breeze, Florida**<br/><br/>Zelda is a 2-year-old sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. If you’re looking for a dog who truly wants to be your companion, Zelda is your girl. She absolutely adores humans of all ages and would happily spend her day right by your side soaking up affection.<br/><br/>Zelda is what many people call a “velcro dog.” She loves to be close—whether that means leaning against you, climbing up for a hug, or putting her paws on your shoulders to say hello. Belly rubs, kisses, and cuddles are some of her favorite things, and she thrives with someone who enjoys a dog that’s very affectionate and people-focused.<br/><br/>She’s house trained, has great leash manners, and rides well in the car. At home she can free roam during the day and sleeps in a crate at night. Zelda has a playful, energetic side and enjoys being outside in the yard, but she’s also perfectly happy to nap on the couch for most of the day as long as she’s near her person.<br/><br/>Zelda gets along well with other dogs—she happily plays with younger pups and respectfully leaves older dogs alone. She would do great as an only dog soaking up all the attention or with a compatible playmate. She’s likely fine with cats, though proper introductions would be best.<br/><br/>Because Zelda can be a bit anxious when left alone for long periods, she would do best in a home where someone is around more often. She may have an occasional accident if left longer than about three hours.<br/><br/>One thing to know about this smart girl: she’s an impressive climber! Zelda will need a tall, secure fence, as she has been known to climb a 6-foot fence or jump to peek over it. She loves spending time outdoors, so a safe yard will make her very happy.<br/><br/>Zelda is still learning her name, but she responds well when you get her attention and listens when told “no” or “down.” She’s eager to connect with her people and will thrive with someone willing to continue guiding her.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate dog who wants to be involved in everything you do, Zelda is ready to be your loyal companion.<br/><br/>Zelda is a very sweet girl who can’t wait to find the person she can love with her whole heart. ❤️<br/><br/>Zelda is spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400. To read over the adoption requirements before applying, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to pick up the dog from his or her foster.

NW Florida Great Dane Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our adoption requirements are as follows: 1. All Dogs and Cats in your home MUST be spayed or neutered. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet only. 2. All Dogs and outdoor Cats in your home MUST be current and have been kept historically up to date on annual vaccinations and monthly (or semiannual) heartworm and flea prevention. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions to this in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet, ONLY. 3. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to adopt and be able to prove you're financially able to care for a great dane should a medical emergency arise. 4. You must own the property in which you live or your landlord must be willing to verify that you are allowed to have a Great Dane in your rental home. We check property records.? 5. Our Great Danes require a sturdy fenced in yard, particularly young or active danes. Generally, a six-foot or higher privacy fencing is preferred. In certain circumstances, the Board may waive this requirement depending upon the Dane's personality and temperament. Any such exceptions will solely be at the discretion of the Rescue Board. Under no circumstances will we consider invisible or electric fencing as acceptable. 6. We only adopt Dogs as indoor pets. We will not adopt Dogs to be used as guard dogs or to be kept out-of-doors. 7. A home visit is required for ALL adoptions, without exception. This is not a white-glove inspection, rather it is to ensure that the home is a safe environment for the Great Dane. 8. We do not transport. If you are applying from out of area or out of state, understand that if your application gets approved, you will be expected to pick up the dane in the location that he/she is being fostered. In addition, if the adoption does not work out, it is your responsibility to bring the dane safely back to us. 9. There may be multiple applications for the same Dog. Our Great Danes are placed in the home we believe most suitable for them, based upon their individual needs and temperament. 10. Before applying below, please expect this application process to take about two weeks. If you are applying from out of area or state, please expect a slight delay. It will take us more time to get the home visit set up. At any time, if you have questions about the status of your application, please email the rescue at nwflgdr@gmail.com.
