Zeva's Story

💛 About Zeva<br/><br/>Zeva is a total sweetheart with a calm, loving personality. She is a huge cuddler who loves nothing more than being close to her people—especially if that means sitting on the couch and quietly watching the world out the window. She rarely barks and has a very gentle, easygoing presence in the home.<br/><br/>She enjoys walks and gets adorably excited when it’s time to go out—doing little “happy stomps” in anticipation. Once she’s out, she settles into a nice rhythm and enjoys exploring by your side.<br/><br/>⚡ Energy Level<br/><br/>Medium<br/><br/>Zeva is generally very chill and relaxed, but she lights up for affection, food, and outdoor time. She’s also a fast learner and eager to please.<br/><br/>🧸 Favorite Things<br/>Couch time with her favorite humans<br/><br/>Belly rubs (her absolute favorite thing in the world)<br/><br/>Walks and outdoor time<br/><br/>Praise and affection more than treats<br/><br/>🏡 Ideal Home<br/><br/>Zeva would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can be part of the family. A fenced yard would be wonderful for her, but it’s not required—she also does very well on leash walks. She would love a home where she gets plenty of attention, petting, and companionship.<br/><br/>🏠 Training & Behavior<br/>House trained<br/><br/>Crate trained (goes in willingly and sleeps in her crate)<br/><br/>Calm when left alone, no destructive behavior<br/><br/>Knows: sit, crate<br/><br/>Working on: stay (picking it up quickly)<br/><br/>Leash manners: excited at first, but settles quickly and walks well with light guidance<br/><br/>No resource guarding (she’s even comfortable eating with you nearby)<br/><br/>Very friendly with strangers, including children<br/><br/>Initially nervous in new environments but adjusts quickly and becomes a “shadow” dog once comfortable<br/><br/>🐕 Socialization<br/>Dogs: Not reactive on leash; currently a bit nervous with high-energy dogs in home<br/><br/>Cats: Previously reported good with cats (not recently tested in foster home)<br/><br/>Kids: Calm and sweet with children approximately ages 6–10<br/><br/>💕 Summary<br/><br/>Zeva is the definition of a gentle, loyal companion. She’s affectionate, well-mannered, and happiest just being near her people. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a quiet night on the couch, Zeva is ready to be someone’s very best friend.<br/><br/><br/>If you're interested in meeting, please fill out the application below!<br/><br/>https://www.woofanimalrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/><br/>This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue.
