Zara

Hello there! I'm Zara, and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family. 
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR ZARA
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM  
https://forms.gle/hvMqi9dTrqXJGCue7
 
My Ideal Home: A home where I am an only dog where I can get all of the love and attention that I crave, I am happy wiggle monster who loves loves loves cuddles on the lounge but I also have enough energy for a nice daily walk.  
• I'll need daily exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• Ongoing training and guidance with basic manners will help me grow into a well-behaved companion.
• I want to be part of the family indoors - not left outside without interaction.
• Secure fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is essential to keep me safe.
• I'd love plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep my busy mind occupied.
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• When I get excited, I can be a little bouncy and mouthy, so I can not go to a home with children for this reason.
• Socialisation is just as important as training. Taking me to new places, introducing me to all sorts of people, dogs, and other animals will help me grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog.
• Training, training, training - it's essential that I receive consistent guidance in every aspect of my life so I can become the very best companion I can be although I do already know how to sit, stay, come and shake hands.
• Because I may have had a sheltered start I can be unsure of unfamiliar men.
• I need to be the only dog in the home, as I can become jealous and may not share my space well. I sometimes bark seeing other dogs while out on walks,I prefer not to interact closely with them unless done so in a controlled environment, I seem to like submissive male dogs the best.
• I am not a fan of small dogs.
• I have a high prey drive, so I'm not suited to homes with cats or small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, or ducks.

My Paw-some Perks:  I know my basic commands and am even housetrained!
• I'm a very playful, happy pup with the cutest little wiggle-butt when I'm excited.
• I'm highly food motivated, which makes training lots of fun and helps me learn quickly.
• I appear housetrained.
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I'm quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I LOVE toys - especially my ball! Fetch and tug-of-war are some of my favourite games.
• I'm exuberant and full of beans, always ready for fun and adventure.
• I'm clever, enthusiastic, and would thrive with a family who'll continue my training and maybe even teach me some cool new tricks.

Training & Support Needs: I am an energetic girl who can get a little bouncy and mouthy when overly excited so I will require some training for this.
I also seem to be unsure of unfamiliar men so lots of positive interactions with kind and gentle men would be greatly beneficial.
• Once I'm settled, I can walk nicely, but I may pull if something grabs my attention or if I decide I'd like to head in a different direction, so a harness or head halter would really help while I continue my training.
• I can be a little bouncy and mouthy when excited, but consistent training will help me learn calmer behaviours.
