ZELDA

Description

My name is Zelda, born on September 11th 2020, I am an (unspayed) solid black female German shepherd Belgian Malinois, UTD on shots (til May 2023) microchipped, and about 50 lbs long lean frame; smart, sweet, highly active, eager to please an adventurous high prey drive- soft temperament, a little correction goes a long way. I prefer to be top dog, chase cats, and don’t like little dogs. I have not been around children and can be very cautious around new people. I have a life expectancy of at least another 7 to 10 years and being part, Belgian Malinois more likely to be healthy and active longer than my German Shepherd counterparts. I have a lot of love, loyalty, companionship ahead of me in my furever loving home. My furever family had a sudden death in the family and had to move cross country unexpectedly and could not take me. I was returned to my breeder and we have been working socializing, leash work, agility activities, meshing with a pack of 4 (my mom, my dad, and siblings) but what Id really like to do is find a furever loving family of my own where I can be top dog and sleep with my person/people. I love tummy rubs, pats, verbal and physical affection. Once I warm up to my new person/place; I am eager to please and make my handler happy. My bad habits include barking and lunging at other animals, some men, bicycles, or skateboards. I can be very rough with smaller animals during play and really, really like to chase animals smaller than me. I sometimes howl and bark when crated and even though its super gross I sometimes eat my own poo (coprophagy). I do get separation anxiety and can be mischievous when unattended for long periods of time, so I enjoy a walk or play session if ill be alone for a while. If you think we might be a good match, please email or text today so we can do a meet and greet.
