Story
My name is Newton! I am a really really handsome boy. I am 2 years old and honestly, I need someone to take a chance on me. I am a mix of hound, maybe some mountain dog and venturing to say some Aussie. I am longing for a chance to sit on the couch with my humans and get lots of love and playtime. I am a nice boy! I am good with other dogs (we are unsure of cats and because I probably have some herding breed in me, we should stay away from the felines for now). I am playful, I love to walk and have fun outdoor adventures. This is what would work for me in a new home. A fenced in yard would be perfect for me and a single family home would be ideal. My family/person needs to be relatively active - a person that will put a little time into some basic training, take me for walks or hikes or maybe even a mild jog sometimes. Did I tell you I won a race with my caretaker! That's me in the picture at the race! I have not been around young kids so ASCZ is recommending kids 10+. I have always welcomed new faces and may jump with excitement. I will need some housebreaking work when I go into my new home. I am 2 years old so it shouldn't take me long and I am SMART. I am kind of like a big kid who wants to play and have a lot of fun. If you are interested in giving me a chance in a real home setting, please apply here! ASCZ will be very excited to talk to you! https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
My name is Lizzie. I am a stunning Husky/Boxer mix! I am 45 lbs and just about 2 years old. It's kind of hard to tell in the pictures but my eyes are blue speckled. I am a very super submissive dog. I don't prefer to challenge or cross anyone. ASCZ thinks I would do best with another dog in the home. I am pretty shy with humans at first and I take my cues from my canine friends. My confidence will grow but I will thrive quicker if I have a dog friend that I can trust in my transition. I am housebroken and I love horses. We are not sure on cats but our hunch is that I would be afraid of them. I can be relatively jumpy when I am excited to see my humans when they come home or if something else excites me so kids 10+. I have a great energy about me - I would be a fantastic hiking companion and perhaps even a jogger!

Story
How can I still be adoptable?!! My name is Alfie. I am about 2.5 years old and 60 lbs. I am a mix of Black Mouth Cur, maybe some Lab and a few other things. I am a very very cool dog. Here are the cool things about me: 1) I love all people and have been friendly with men women and kids! I even hung out with a 4 year old and did great. I knew my boundaries and was very interested in hanging out with him. 2) I am good with other dogs. I live with three others - all different genders and ages. 3) I am housebroken and I am crate-trained. I don't love the crate but I have been doing well left alone when my foster people are gone! 4) I am active and walk well on leash. I love going on walks! I would be a great jogger (if trained) and hiker. I am not dog reactive. 5) I like the baby pool so who knows - I could even like swimming in open water which would be fun. The only thing that may not be agreeable to some is I might be a little too feisty with our feline friends... but, I mean, every dog has to have something right? Please reach out to ASCZ to meet me! I promise I won't disappoint! https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
My name is Rosie and I am 60 lbs. ASCZ definitely thinks I have heeler in me. Probably some Border Collie too and maybe some Akita. There is something in there that is keeping me a bit fluffier and bigger than a typical heeler/BC. Either way, I am awesome. I am housebroken and crate-trained. I am active and I love to run around the yard. I have been good with all the dogs I have met. I do not think I would have any issue with children; however, I might get excited and knock them over but that's about the extent of my worry! We would suggest 8+. I am independent but also affectionate. I walk well on leash too! We are unsure on cats. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Don't let these pictures fool you!!! This dog is adorable in person! Meet Curly! This sweet boy is about 2 years old and weighs 18 pounds. He has striking blue eyes! Curley is crate trained, housebroken, good with kids and other dogs. He really likes to play hard to get with the other dogs - but loves to play! He is going to need a little work on his leash - but will no doubt learn quick with consistency. This little lover is ready to find a lap to lay on for his forever!

Story
My name is Blakely. First, we aren't sure what I am mixed with! We see a few things... maybe black mouth cur, maybe some collie, maybe some lab. I am 60 lbs and just over a year old. I am pretty much full grown and filled out. I came from a litter of puppies that was dumped on the side of the road. I am extremely sweet. I have been making huge strides! I will need a home where an adopter can take me under my wing and get me to where I should be - having fun, playing with toys, meeting people and gaining confidence. I am there now but I will need a transition period to get used to my new and exciting life. I have it in me - I just need to be shown! I love other dogs. Another dog friend would be great for me so I can learn the ropes. I have not been around young children and we are pretty sure I would be afraid of a cat. A fenced in yard is ideal and someone who has a lot of love and patience to give to a pup. Here is the link to the application: https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/
