My girl Zelda is a big, playful sweetheart. She is the gentlest thing and loves to cuddle. She loves to go outside and be active, but also loves to chill at home. She is very well behaved, house trained, and doesn’t bite or bark (will bark at other dogs on walks because she’s excited, but rarely). Overall, she’s an amazing dog who needs a lot of love and attention. We are rehoming her due to my recent health decline. Unfortunately because of this, I am unable to keep up with her energy levels in taking her on longer walks or to the park. I also live in a smaller space since taking her in and do not have extra space for her to play and be active.
