Zeina is a 3 ½-year-old stunning female. Born 10-16-17, She weighs 52 pounds which is the perfect healthy weight for her frame. She is very healthy and fit with a beautiful coat and sweet disposition.

• Rides quietly in the car. No barking or jumping around, no signs of getting car sick.
• Very sweet disposition and wants to please. She wants to be with people. If you sit on the floor, she puts her head in your lap for pets.
• Very friendly to people and looking to please. Goes instantly to new people and wants to be petted. She hasn’t been tested around young children yet.
• Takes corrections well.
• High ball drive and very active. But will sit and relax if ignored. She loves to snuggle after a game of ball.
• Very healthy, has been medically checked out and in excellent shape.
• Has been in a yard with a four-foot fence and has not made any attempts to jump it. She just wanted attention and ball. She has never been left unattended inside or out of the house.
• She is excellent in a crate. She is also good running around in the house and hasn’t destroyed or chewed on anything.
• Housebroken
• She has not been trusted alone uncrated when left alone but she had been alone in a room without issue for very brief moments.
• Good on steps, carpet, and tile floors.
• She has not been allowed on the furniture and shows no interest in jumping up on the furniture.
• She came with very little training and manners. She has figured out that if she wants the ball to be thrown, she needs to sit, so she quickly learned the “sit” command.
• She is ball-driven, not treat-driven. She will eat a treat. She does not overeat or speed eat. 
• She allows people to touch her while eating. No resource guarding against humans.
• Interestingly she doesn’t care about a running vacuum cleaner. She kept bringing her ball and putting it in front of the vacuum cleaner so you will throw it.
• She lives for the ball. She will give it to you, but caution when she does because of excitement she snaps at the ball. We are working on “leave it”. She doesn’t try to bite you but she desperately wants you to throw the ball. Need to use caution around children until this is trained out of her.
• She is good with other dogs when introduced properly and given time to get comfortable.  She had to deal with other dogs aggression in her previous home so is cautious and can be reactive at first.

In summary, this is a wonderful girl. She will make a perfect companion for some lucky person or family. Great sports possibilities. Her fostere] home hopes to introduce her to dock diving. Stay tuned for photos of that.
