Zelda is a lively, friendly girl who’s ready to be part of whatever you’re doing. She’s new to us, but her previous shelter shared that she made a wonderful first impression—easily hopping into the front seat and showing a social, easygoing nature with both people and other dogs. She carries herself with a confident charm that makes her a joy to be around.

She enjoys getting out and exploring and is learning the rhythm of walks, making her a great match for someone who wants an active companion by their side. Zelda brings a fun, engaging energy to everyday life, while still appreciating time to relax and settle in after a good outing. Her presence adds a sense of connection and companionship that makes daily routines feel more enjoyable.

Her striking tricolor coat—black with warm tan markings and a unique white “necklace”—makes her especially eye-catching and memorable wherever she goes.

With Zelda, you gain a companion who brings both energy and heart into your home. Reach out to learn more about welcoming her as a foster or adopter.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
