Zia

Zia is a 4-year-old Anatolian Shepherd weighing 125 pounds. She’s a gentle soul with a calm, thoughtful presence and just the right touch of silliness. She’s past the puppy chaos and has settled into her favorite rhythm of life: enjoying a peaceful walk, then finding the perfect spot to lay down and quietly observe the world go by.<br/><br/>Laid-back, chill, and quietly funny, Zia has moments of playful charm that will catch you off guard and make you smile. She does well with kids and other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for a family looking for a steady, affectionate presence rather than constant high energy.<br/><br/>Zia would thrive in a home that appreciates relaxed walks, quiet afternoons, and a dog who’s happiest simply being near her people—watching, listening, and soaking in life together. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion with a soft heart and an old-soul vibe, Zia might be your perfect match.<br/><br/>ADOPTION PROCESS:<br/><br/>1.
