Ziva

My story

Meet Ziva: Your Future Co-Pilot, Squeaky Toy Connoisseur, and Professional Snuggler-in-Training! 🐾✨ Ziva’s story starts like a country song — found scared and scruffy in a rural area, down on her luck but full of heart. Now? She's ready to glow up in her forever home! Her name means radiant in Hebrew and living in Slavic — and trust us, this little lady lives up to both. 🌟 Estimated to be around 2–3 years old, Ziva is a total beauty queen who may have had a rough past (possibly used for breeding 😢), but she's not letting that dim her sparkle. From day one, all she’s wanted is love, cuddles, and maybe a few snacks (okay… a lot of snacks). She’s super food motivated and knows "sit" and "no" like a champ. She’s also crate trained, potty trained, and a very polite beggar — just don’t be surprised if she shoots you puppy eyes worthy of an Oscar. 🎭🍗 Ziva’s idea of a good time? Squeaky toys (the louder, the better), joy rides (she’s a pro at loading up and keeping chill in the car), and basking in the company of her favorite humans. She’ll even serenade you with an adorable “woo woo” when it’s time for dinner or crate breaks. She does best with slow intros to other medium-to-large dogs and keeps things pretty neutral — no drama here! She’s not a fan of cats, livestock, or tiny critters (prey drive alert 🚨), so she’d prefer a home without them. She may bark at new people and unfamiliar dogs at first, but she’s working hard on building her confidence and trusting the world again. Ziva would thrive in a home that gives her space to settle in, time to trust, and lots of love (and treats — seriously, treats help). Got a soft spot for underdogs with big hearts? Ziva might just be your soulmate with paws. 💕
