Teeny, tiny Zuma is almost 4 years old and 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 recovering well 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 yard that she can run around and do Zoomies in and play fetch, she would love to be taken on daily walks and adventures. Once the day is done, nothing would make Zuma happier than cuddling up to her humans with full couch privileges of course.

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. Zuma is working on all aspects of her impulse control; when excited to see her humans, she can resemble a bouncing Kangaroo, relieved to have her people home.
Whilst she works on this, she is best suited to a home where everyone is over 10 years of age.

Zuma would benefit from further training to fine-tune her manners and improve her focus, she is extremely clever and learns new things quickly. Zuma would enjoy positive reinforcement training and may even like to get involved in agility, or other dog sports, this girl has so much potential and is willing to give anything a go when a treat or her ball is on offer.

Zuma can be a little unsure of new people at first, particularly men, she does warm up quickly when shown kindness, especially when treats are on offer and then instantly becomes your best friend, comfortable being patted all over; once she knows she is safe, Zuma is a real lover girl!

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, 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.

This darling girl has had such a tough start, she is looking for someone that can give her the life she is dreaming of, the one every dog deserves. If you are looking for a playful, cuddly, clever companion that is always up for an adventure, then our little pocket rocket Zuma could be the one for you!
