ZaZa, Australian shepherd and Australian kelpie mix

ZaZa is a winsome female Australian shepherd and Australian kelpie mix being kept at Cody's Friends Rescue.

ZaZa is friendly as can be — she's happy to keep company with other dogs and children, and would love to be placed in a home with another canine to have as a playmate. No need for concern: She is already house-trained, spayed and has had all her shots.

ZaZa's current caretakers say:

Little Miss ZaZa is sweet and great with other dogs. She is about one year old. Her body structure resembles an Australian kelpie. Based on her markings, she probably has a dash of heeler with a pinch of love-bug. She likes to go for walks, and would typically rather be playing or cuddling with you.

Here's what Krissy's friends at Cody's Friends Rescue think of her:

Love is what makes Krissy special. She gets along with everyone and deserves a family of her very own. Her new family will need to learn how to manage her diabetes, and give her time to adjust. She has to feel safe and loved. In return, she will be your companion and best friend.
