Story
This stunning 3-year-old, 75-pound Mastiff mix is ready to be your new shadow! Zara is sweet, sensitive, and a total cuddlebug. Though Zara comes from a difficult past, she has made incredible progress. She’s silly, cuddly, and deeply affectionate once she trusts you. Watching her find joy in the simple things—like leaning in for affection or settling at your feet—is a beautiful thing.Zara is best suited for a rural home and one where she can get plenty of exercise. She loves being outside, keeping an eye on her surroundings, and most of all, snuggling with her person. As long as Zara’s activity is consistent, she is a happy girl! Right now, she does best in a large, secure outdoor kennel run when unsupervised for short periods. A fenced-in yard will be required for her safety. Zara has separation anxiety, so her ideal home is with a family who is home most of the time, or someone with a flexible schedule. Because of this, she cannot live in a home with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes). With the right person—someone kind, experienced, and home often—Zara will be a fiercely loyal, affectionate companion.She is good with cats and most dogs—she currently lives peacefully with dogs of various sizes. She has not had much experience with children, so she will get along best with dog-savvy kids. She will not be able to live with larger female dogs.Zara deserves a family that sees her for who she is: a sensitive soul with a big heart. If you’re looking for a dog who can give you a lifetime of love, she just might be your perfect match!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
