Zelda’s Story

Zelda came to SNAFU Rescue via a private party. Her owner sadly passed away and therefore Zelda was looking for a place to help find her a loving forever home.

Zelda is a very laid-back, calm, mellow, relaxed and reserved Bulldog. Given her chill approach to life, it shouldn’t be a surprise that she passes each day enjoying many Bulldog snoozes, following around her foster family like it is her job, relaxing on her favorite spot on the couch and allowing her foster family to provide unlimited pets. Zelda truly is your typical bulldog “couch potato” as she would prefer to pass each day lounging around the house. Occasionally she will grab a rope toy to nibble on or settle in on her plush bed to chomp on a bone to pass some time.

After shadowing her foster family ALL around the home, you can find sweet Zelda looking for someone to snuggle right up next to and take in one of her many naps throughout the day. Her favorite place is right next to any human in her foster home that will allow her to snuggle in close, provide scratchies/petties and offer her the much-desired attention she needs. After a pawfectly suited Bulldog snooze, you can find Zelda engaging her furry friends in some play! She gets so excited when her foster brother (a Husky) is involved in playtime; it’s really quite adorbull! She is quite the social butterfly!

Zelda loves to soak up attention from anyone willing to offer it and will confidently walk up to people and accept their love. She does enjoy the outdoors and will often request a short walk to take in some fresh air and show off her leash skills! Did we mention a short walk??? Zelda hasn’t met a stranger and everyone that crosses her path falls head over paws for her! She is experiencing a big change and is in need of a patient and understanding family that will continue to introduce her to new things and experiences as she adjusts to another new home.

Zelda has not been around smaller children but due to her overall size (she doesn’t know how big she really is) we feel she would be best suited in a home with children 6 years or older and who are dog savvy. She does well with dogs of all sizes and we feel she would do okay with a balanced yet playful furry friend to provide her company. As with all of our dogs, slow introductions to other dogs and children are a must and she should always be supervised to make sure she and they are kept safe.

Zelda is fully potty trained.  Her foster family happily reports she is accident free when her foster family is away from the home. A consistent schedule/routine will help her potty training success in her adoptive home. Zelda is fully crate trained and will sleep quietly and accident-free in her crate while her foster family is away from the home and at night. For her safety, a similar crating arrangement is preferred when her humans are away from the home and/or when she is left unsupervised so she is safe and secure. We do think with time Zelda could be trusted in a dog-safe space when her adoptive family is away from the home.  

Medically, Zelda is in good health. She has been spayed, had a dental, updated on vaccinations/deworming and heartworm tested. She has been given the okay to adopt by our trusted veterinarian.  

Zelda would do best in a home with a family that appreciates her laid-back approach to life and one that allows this sweetheart a calm yet active, comfy and loving environment. A home with or without a fenced yard or an apartment-style home with a little number of stairs and an adjacent fenced-in area would be okay for her as would rather be glued to her humans (she is 6 yrs old and as she ages larger staircases could pose an issue)! Although a fenced yard is not required for Zelda it is always recommended for her ongoing safety (she does like to sniff around and play in the backyard).

She is a great candidate for someone who works from home, has a stay-at-home parent or even wants to take her to the office! Zelda would sleep the day away in the office as long as she has her human with her and a comfy spot to lie on. She would happily be on the office welcoming committee!!! Cannot take her to the office- that is okay! She would sleep the day away in her crate as long as someone could arrange a mid-day potty break for her.

Zelda is just about the sweetest Velcro Bulldog you can meet that thrives on human attention. She is looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion and someone that has the time to spend with her.
