Urgent: Zelda Needs Help Before It's Too Late!
Pit bull saved from kill shelter needs savvy, pet-free home immediately- -fantastic dog with humans!!
This is Zelda. We pulled her from a shelter in GA where she was
abandoned pregnant, and brought her and all her babies to MA where
they’ve since found loving homes. We’re
at a crossroads with Zelda and here’s why. Zelda loves people more than
anything, loves to snuggle/be close and give kisses. She's not
destructive, she can be left lounging, sleeping, etc. and you'll pretty
much find her in the same spot you left her. She loves to chase balls
and toss squeaky stuffies in the air, catch them and repeat. She will
entertain herself or play with you—whatever you’re in the mood for. The
thing is, as wonderful as Zelda is with people, she’s in a tough spot
because she’s attacked a few dogs and 1 cat and is too
selective/reactive/prey-driven/aggressive with other pets to be trusted
in a home with or near other animals. She’s basically the perfect dog
when no other animals are around to rouse her, or bring out her
“Jeckyll” side.
Unfortunately, her only option at this point is to find her a pet free
home, with a strong handler that’s experienced with dog-aggressive dogs
and willing to work with her on recall and other training. We know these
special folks exist because we’ve found them in the past for other
animals. But we’re running out of time to find this special person. And
we can’t risk her going into the wrong hands, as it will jeopardize the
rescue. Zelda is currently being kenneled at an animal control office
and will start to deteriorate if she sits in a kennel for much longer.
We need your help to really rally and campaign and find Zelda her
special someone, before we run out of options.
This is her shelter video so you can see her in action: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=kaU7Qidv5WI
She’s a young, healthy, wonderful dog with people. You know how
sometimes you wish you could just tell a dog there’s nothing to fear? We
wish we could talk sense into Zelda about other animals...and that they
can be her friends and not her opponents. But we can’t. Her only option
is finding the right person to be her friend for life. Someone willing
to foster long-term is also an option. If you’re interested in adopting
please email adoptions@survivortails.org. If you’re interested in
fostering please email foster@survivortails.org.
Will you help us find Zelda’s special someone?
