Meet Zelda, a spirited one-year-old German Shepherd from Roanoke, VA, whose energy and devotion are as boundless as the open sky on a crisp autumn day! This tan sable beauty is growing into a large, majestic presence, expected to weigh around eighty pounds when fully matured. Zelda’s playful nature is matched only by her incredible loyalty, making her the ideal companion for an active family ready to share adventures and endless moments of joy.
Zelda’s favorite pastimes include playing fetch, chasing after heavy-duty balls, and delighting in the squeak of her favorite toys! She lives for those long walks, especially when she can trot alongside her favorite humans, exploring the world with her sharp senses. While Zelda hasn’t received formal obedience training yet, she’s already picked up a few commands like “sit,” “paw,” and “ok,” showing her potential to learn even more with the right guidance.
This intelligent pup does have a few quirks that make her even more endearing. She’s a constant companion who loves being close to her family, often whining when left alone for short periods. However, with a cozy blanket over her crate, she’ll settle down and find comfort until you return. Zelda’s high energy level means she thrives in a home with a fenced yard, where she can safely burn off that extra enthusiasm.
While Zelda is generally good with other dogs and loves young children, she has shown food aggression, so her new family will need to be mindful during meal times. Zelda’s shepherd instincts mean she’s not a fan of cats, and she may become aggressive around them. Therefore, a cat-free home would be best for this lively girl.
Zelda’s affectionate side shines through when she curls up next to you on the couch or in bed, soaking up all the love and attention she can get. She’s a cuddle bug at heart, despite her tough exterior. With her playful personality and deep bond to her human family, Zelda will thrive in an environment that offers both activity and security.
Are you ready to welcome Zelda into your life and give her the forever home she needs? Reach out today and start a new adventure with this amazing companion by your side!
