Zelda

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

For those of us who work with her it is so sad because 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.

In recent times Zelda has been receiving professional training to help her be calmer onlead as well as getting a chance to socialise nicely with other dogs.  This training has been a game-changer for her and she is much more mannerly on walks. Her trainers adore her and are happy to work with and advise any new owners on tips for keeping her relaxed on the lead. Her off the lead recall is excellent.

The only essential requirement for Zelda is a secure garden in a rural space. The garden should be reasonably large so she has plenty of room to exercise at home. Zelda has little to no experience of built  up areas yet, so a quiet, more rural home would be best for her

She could potentially live with a mellow male companion dog. This companion dog should be tolerant of her hogging the humans though! Otherwise, a home as an only dog would work best.
