Zelda

Meet Zelda — and no, she’s not showing her teeth… she’s smiling!<br/><br/>Zelda is an adorable, approximately 6-year-old tri-color terrier mix who may be tiny at just 10 pounds, but her heart is absolutely huge. She’s the definition of a perfect lap dog—sweet, snuggly, and happiest when she’s curled up right next to her person, soaking in all the love she can get.<br/><br/>This little girl loves her toys and will happily keep herself entertained, though she’d much rather invite you to join in the fun. Zelda is very people-friendly and truly thrives on companionship, making her an ideal match for a home where she can be part of the daily love and attention.<br/><br/>While she enjoys being the center of your world, Zelda could also do well with a calm, confident dog who can help her feel secure and show her the routine. She’s crate trained (though she doesn’t need it), housebroken, and even knows how to use a potty pad—making her an easy addition to your home.<br/><br/>Her experience with children is unknown, but her gentle and affectionate personality suggests she would likely do well with respectful kids who understand her small size.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who brings the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy cuddles, Zelda is ready to brighten your days—and your lap.<br/><br/>Our standard adoption fee is $465.
