Zuma

Zuma is still in foster care and is not quite ready for adoption just yet.

Teeny, tiny Zuma has lived a really tough life, recently she was tied up and not been fed regularly, becoming emaciated. Zuma, escaped her property and went on the lookout for some food, eventually ending up at the pound as a stray. Zuma is now in foster care and is well on her way to recovering and building condition.

Zuma is tiny, a little pocket rocket with lots of energy and so much spunk. Zuma is looking for an active home with a large yard that she can run around and do Zoomies in. Zuma would love to be taken on daily walks and adventures; she walks beautifully on lead and is very well behaved out in public.

Zuma snatches food, she is working on this, but once upon a time she didn’t know where her next meal would come from, so she is still in the mindset that all food needs to be immediately scoffed. Zuma is learning to be gentle, however has been known to accidentally get fingers whilst taking a treat, whilst she works on this, she is best suited to a home where everyone is over 8 years of age.

Zuma adores her people and wants to be wherever they are, she loves following them around the house. When Zuma is left alone, she can get into mischief if not provided with adequate enrichment, kongs, treat puzzles, licky mats and other activities to keep her amused will ensure her bed doesn’t accidentally explode when her humans are away.

Zuma gets on well with other dogs, when she first meets them up close, she can be quite vocal, however there is no aggression behind her barking at all, and when given a moment to calm down, Zuma soon realises there is nothing to bark about and then is very calm around others. Zuma may like to live with a large breed male dog; however, caution and separation would be needed around food. Zuma would also be fine as the only dog in her new home that socialises with others out on walks.

Zuma is not suited to a home with cats or other small pets including chickens.
