Zumba's Story

Zumba, a beautiful German Shepherd mix, was born in January 2018. Zumba is a sweet and gentle little girl with a sensitive soul. Zumba truly is THE PERFECT dog. Perfectly polite with great house manners, housetrained, crate trained, great with other dogs and children. Zumba loves going for walks and walks nicely on a leash, she knows basic obedience. She's smart and learns things in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, Zumba was born with a rare genetic disorder, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. In plain English, it simply means she has very fragile skin and loose joints due to the alterations to collagen structure and density. Even the slightest scratch can damage and tear her skin requiring a trip to a veterinarian to be stitched up and time in a "cone of shame" to allow it to heal. <br/>We have no doubt that this fun, beautiful loving girl is worth every bit of effort but it would be so much better for her and her future if she were to have her “happily ever after” with someone who understands her medical needs and has the capability (financial and emotional) to deal with them. If you have the love and a nice soft lawn please don't let this sweet girl spend her life being the “underdog” here. As much as we love Zumba, we simply do not have the time to give her back all of the love she deserves. Any creature with this much happiness, this much love of life deserves more.<br/>Please, if you are the reward Zumba has been waiting for, that special home, please let us know by filling out an adoption application at www.rezqdogs.org/adopt <br/><br/>Adoption Policies:<br/>1.
