Zelda

This beautiful 4 year old German Shepherd almost broke the internet with her rescue story in May 2024 – tied up, emaciated and defending her 7 discarded pups – but in spite of the outpouring of love for her, she has had no offer of a home.

Zelda is the most human-oriented dog at WCAWG.  She is happy, gentle and affectionate with all people, she would do fine in a busy home or a calm home, a home with children (12+) or a home without children, all she needs is to love and be loved.

The only essential requirement for Zelda is a secure garden in a rural area. The garden should be reasonably large so she has plenty of room to exercise at home. Zelda is not good with all dogs which is why we would prefer rural so there is less chance of her meeting other dogs on her walks.  She is strong so it could be hard for an owner walking her in an urban setting.

We’re heartbroken that Zelda is waiting this long. She is the most loving of all the dogs and we can see that this prolonged spell at our rescue is becoming harder for her. Please share her story so we can find her her happy outcome – noone deserves it more.

If you think you can answer our prayers for Zelda and offer her a new love-filled future please fill in our Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals
