Cross Posting - Zelda

My story

We encourage all prospective adopter to do their own evaluation.Do you have extra love available to offer a dog? If so, Zelda is an adorable potty trained almost three-year-old Goldendoodle (born April 2022) who is looking for a loving new family. She's been raised in a busy home with three school-aged kids (currently ages 9 and 12) and is accustomed to getting lots of love and attention throughout the day. She is crate trained, but is also trustworthy to be left in the house unattended for short periods (a few hours at a time). She enjoys spending time taking in nature in an enclosed backyard and loves being taken on walks on leash and drives in the car.Zelda has received regular veterinary care throughout her life, and is spayed. Her only known health issue is a minor luxating patella on her rear left leg. It does not cause her pain, and realigns each time after a few hopping steps. Because of the luxating patella, we've been advised by her vet not to play active games that require sudden changes in direction (i.e., fetch with a ball or frisbee).Zelda would do best in a home where she's the only pet, or with someone adept at addressing her aggression toward other animals. She is territorial, resource guarding and jealous of attention and affection given to our male Chihuahua. Although very rare, Zelda has also snapped at our kids as a warning when resource guarding (i.e., if they touch/ take her toy or yak milk bone). A new home with kids old enough to be gentle and respectful toward her would be ideal. She can be shy and wary with new people but tends to warm up to strangers fairly quickly.Rehoming Zelda has become necessary due to a health crisis in our family. She deserves to be doted upon and enjoyed. Given the stress and strain we're under, we're not able to give her the best life possible.
