About Zelda

Name: Zelda Sex: Female Breed: Pit Mix Age: 3 yrs Weight: approx. 40 lbs Good with: People, selective with dogs, okay with kids willing to be patient with her energetic greetings! No cats. This is Zelda. We pulled her from a shelter in GA where she was abandoned pregnant, and brought her and all her babies to MA where they've since found loving homes. We're at a crossroads with Zelda and here's why. Zelda loves people more than anything, loves to snuggle/be close and give kisses. She's not destructive, she can be left lounging, sleeping, etc. and you'll pretty much find her in the same spot you left her. She loves to chase balls and toss squeaky stuffies in the air, catch them and repeat. She will entertain herself or play with you-whatever you're in the mood for. The thing is, as wonderful as Zelda is with people, she's in a tough spot because she's attacked a few dogs and 1 cat and is too selective/reactive/prey-driven/aggressive with other pets to be trusted in a home with or near other animals. She's basically the perfect dog when no other animals are around to rouse her, or bring out her 'Jeckyll' side. Unfortunately, her only option at this point is to find her a pet free home, with a strong handler that's experienced with dog-aggressive dogs and willing to work with her on recall and other training. We know these special folks exist because we've found them in the past for other animals. But we're running out of time to find this special person. And we can't risk her going into the wrong hands, as it will jeopardize the rescue. Zelda is currently being kenneled at an animal control office and will start to deteriorate if she sits in a kennel for much longer. We need your help to really rally and campaign and find Zelda her special someone, before we run out of options. This is her shelter video so you can see her in action: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=kaU7Qidv5WI She's a young, healthy, wonderful dog with people. You know how sometimes you wish you could just tell a dog there's nothing to fear? We wish we could talk sense into Zelda about other animals...and that they can be her friends and not her opponents. But we can't. Her only option is finding the right person to be her friend for life. Someone willing to foster long-term is also an option.
