Zelle is an approximately one-year-old dog that was an owner surrender to Safe Haven. Her previous owner was told she was a German Shorthair Pointer mix when she got her, but we just kept wondering what else she was mixed with - so in January a Safe Haven volunteer donated an Embark DNA test! So now we know Zelle is actually a perfect mix of American Pit Bull Terrier/German Shepherd/Husky/Bulldog..... turns out she does not have any German Shorthair Pointer in her "mix" at all.
Zelle is actively searching for a place to call her own. She is a motivated girl with a keen desire to learn and engage. She already knows a few basic manners like "sit" and "lay down" and is enthusiastic about mastering many more tricks, making her an exciting partner for anyone interested in positive reinforcement training!
This energetic girl absolutely loves going for walks and thrives on physical and mental stimulation. She would be a fantastic, devoted companion for an active individual or family who enjoys spending time outdoors and can provide her with plenty of opportunities for exercise and adventure.
Zelle came into our care because she was not compatible with the other dogs in her previous home. To ensure she can be the happiest, most relaxed version of herself, her previous family thought she would do best in an only-pet home. She has also shown us pretty quickly at Safe Haven that cats and Zelle definitely would not be ideal. She deserves to be the queen of the castle and receive all the attention and focus from her human family, which we know will allow her loving and clever personality to truly shine!
The great news is that Zelle is fully prepared to jump right into her new life! She is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations, she was previously spayed, and has been microchipped. So if you are looking for a loyal, active, and clever girl ready for adventure, Zelle is waiting for you!
Please complete an online adoption application for Zelle if you're interested in meeting her. Once your application has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps of the meet & greet process.
