Zuzu
Yorkshire Terrier
Available for Adoption!
Loves me…..loves me not……loves me….loves me not…..LOVES ME!
My name is Zuzu and I am plucking flower petals in hopes my wish will come true. That is, a guardian angel to love me and give me my second chance at a wonderful life.
I am a vulnerable little girl, but a survivor. I was left trying to fend for myself when a Good Samaritan found me lost and alone. Being blind and hard of hearing did not serve me well on the streets, but it is not such a bad thing in a home, apartment or condo. I travel at a moderate pace with the cutest waddle, so when I bump into an obstacle I simply change directions. Doorbells, thunder and vacuums do not bother me one bit, making long naps and sleeping through the night a breeze. I settle myself into my cozy crate for sleeping and am comfortable and content in my safe place.
I was extremely underweight at the time I came into care. In an effort to give me all the nourishment I would take, I have been given all kinds of healthy meal and snack choices. Now that I am at a healthy weight and confident that my belly will stay full, I have developed a refined sniffer and a discriminating palate. My foster mom is happy to oblige me and says I am deserving of the finer things in this next chapter of my journey and I guess she is right. After my recent dental and grooming, I feel great and look rather adorable!
Life is worth living again and the little things make me happy. I enjoy head scratches while cuddling on a lap and will return the affection with kisses and a waggly tail. Butt rubs are just as nice and I will raise my cute little bum to make it easier for you. I don’t play with many toys, but I do have some treat finding puzzles and games that are lots of fun. Leashes are ok with me so I know I will be safe, but long walks are not my “thing.” This little girl is happiest close to home just following my nose to take in all the aromas on short meanders in the yard. A small grassy area or courtyard without too many obstacles is all I need to enjoy the outdoors.
People use words like shy, calm, mellow and sweet (with just a dash of sass) to describe me. I don’t bark, whine, bite, snap, or complain. Well, maybe an occasional mumble if I am uncomfortable, but I am a pretty easy going gal.
If you are looking for love and quiet companionship to fill your heart and home like I am, you may just get your wings by making my dreams and wishes for my furever home come true.
