Zena

Sweet Zena was surrendered to a rural shelter with her three puppies, all of who were adopted before her. She ended up on the euthanization list and we knew we just had to help! Zena is gentle, funny, and playful all in one! She is six years young, about 60 lbs., and up to date on all of her vaccines. She is heart worm positive and received the ProHeart 12 vaccine in late October. We are monitoring her progress with this before we get her spayed. Zena loves to take walks, play with her toys at night, and sleep with the foster's teen daughter every night. While Zena is a laid back gal, she does bark at cats and small dogs. She is just fine with medium to large dogs, though. Zena is FABULOUS with adults and teens, but she likes a calm environment so homes with little children would not be the best fit for her. If you're looking for a gentle senior who still has a playful side, Zena's the one for you! This dog is ready for her forever home! PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to please visit our website to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt **Please do not use the "Introduce Yourself" feature. The information needed to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. An inquiry, question, or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application. All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. Please see our website for more information. 2025 Adoption Fee Scale for non-benefactor animals: Puppies under 12 months - $400 Dogs over 12 months - $300 *Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures.
