Zephyr’s Personality

Zephyr is the ultimate sweet and sassy combo. She is that cool girl we all aspire to be. She is brilliant, and always involved in human conversations, sitting and listening like an equal participant. She loves to learn, work, practice, and play. But she’s not all business, she loved to snuggle with her brother (also up for adoption as a bonded pair), and sneak into bed with us in the mornings.

We find her in random place in the house belly up, totally passed out, sleeping deeply. She is very goofy and derpy, has a million facial expressions, and loves to outsmart everyone around her. Lastly and most importantly, she is fiercely loyal. The behavioral issues that she does have, are all fed by a deep love and desire to protect her family. She would do anything for us.

Zephyr is selective with her friendships. She does well being introduced to other dogs off leash, but does not like to meet new friends on leash. She goes to doggy day care regularly, but doesn’t enjoy the dog park because it puts her on edge and she can be reactive. She tends to get along with bigger dogs more than smaller, but has had friends of all sizes.

She has been in training since she was a puppy since she has anxious tendencies and has high energy. She knows a ton of tricks, but sometimes struggled with “impulse control” meaning she will bark before she realizes it’s a friend or safe person. She could use additional training around greetings without barking to humans and dogs, or if you don’t mind, she will warm up and settle after a few minutes.

She has never had any truly aggressive behavior, she more so herds dogs away when she feels protective of her family or a ball. Typically, I avoid playing with her with a ball around other animals, as she can be quite protective.

Zephyr’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?

1. Enrichment toys (lick mats, snuffle toys)
2. Her favorite brand of toy is ruff toy, she loves keep away
3. Ball
4. Bones

Cute Zephyr Story:

Zephyr has 3 moods: sassy, goofy, and focused.

In a matter of 5 minutes, she can go from wrestling with her brother and trying to outsmart him, to wanting to perform tricks and do training, to being passed out, belly up, tongue out, ready to snuggle.

Also, everywhere I go she follows (sometimes to a fault). Home office? She’s there. Garage? She’s there. Bathroom? She’s there. She is the ultimate protector, even when it is SO not necessary.

Why is Zephyr Being Rehomed?

I have been diagnosed with a disability that prevents me for giving Zephyr the time/energy she needs. She is not a low-maintenance pet, she needs exercise, enrichment, patience, and a whole lot of love. With a very heavy heart, I have decided that she and her brother will be happiest elsewhere, with a new owner that can meet their needs, and have energy for them.

Zephyr’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:

Someone who has time, energy, and patience to dedicate to smart and high energy dogs. Zephyr’s days are filled with enrichment puzzles, exercise, training, car rides, and more to keep her entertained. I cannot manage it all anymore, but the new owner needs to be excited about having a true buddy and partner in crime. It’s also crucial that the new owner is kind, empathetic, and patient. Sometimes Zephyr is anxiety first, reasoning second, and her owner needs to help her see situations are safe and she can be comfortable in new place.

Would like to know how she is settling in, and always around if difficulties or questions arise. I never want her to be given to a shelter, so I will always take her back if I need to.
