ABOUT ZELDA
Meet our sweet girl, Zelda! She is a 5-year-old mixed breed with the biggest heart! Zelda came to HAP when her owners could no longer care for her. Despite being in the shelter after living in a home, she has remained a lover girl. Zelda enjoys meeting new people and is very friendly. She is also a regular participant in our Doggy Day Out program, where volunteers take dogs on outings with them! When she's not enjoying a hike with our volunteers or snuggled up with someone on staff, you can usually find her curled up on her bed enjoying a long nap. Zelda also enjoys going for long walks and playing with stuffs. Zelda already knows basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is very eager to please. She has done well meeting other dogs, though she prefers calm, gentle doggy friends best! Zelda has also participated in our Doggy Day Out program, here's what a few volunteers had to say about her:
"Got to take the sweetest Miss Zelda out today. She walked very well on the leash the whole time without pulling on it at all. It's very easy to lead her and when she gets distracted she gets back on track very quickly (even when she sees a squirrel!) She was so happy to meet people and was very kind when approaching people, no jumping up or getting over excited. Everyone loved giving her pets. She liked flopping over and rolling on the warm bricks. She would be an incredible addition to any home!" - Anna
"I had a lovely day with Zelda! She’s fun, playful, sweet and well-behaved. We started the day with a walk around the neighborhood. Zelda walks great on the leash. She loves to stop and sniff everything. Zelda wasn’t quite so sure about the geese. She was a bit spooked when one of them flapped its wings! Zelda was so behaved in the house. She sits for treats and gives her paw. Zelda absolutely loved playing for most of the day. She enjoyed throwing and chasing soft toys and a squeaky. Zelda ended the day by cuddling up and getting lots of attention. Zelda is such a sweet and happy dog and I hope she’s adopted soon!" - Zoe
"Zelda was so so well behaved. The entire time I was waiting for her to bark, jump on the counter but nope, nothing! She is such a cuddly girl who enjoyed anything we brought her along to do. We went for a walk around campus, and despite how busy it was she could not have cared less! Bikers, loud cars, crowds of people, nothing phased her and she just walked along. She absolutely loved the tennis balls we gave her and she enjoyed rolling around on the carpet. She is amazing in the car and even took a little nap in there when I first picked her up! She was the best and I loved being able to spend the day with her." - Meredith
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
