| FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Zizel | |
|---|---|
| Pictures (click to enlarge previews) | |
Zizel is shy with new people, but when she knows you she is very sweet and affectionate. She is quite determined when she wants something and will try to go out of her enclosure every time – but only to hop around the shelter and explore. She longs to be able to relax somewhere comfortable and have a garden and suitable walks and activities to explore the world. | |
Zizel was found with 3 other puppies on a busy road in 2020, one of them had been hit by a car and needed surgery, so Laiza took in those two and another volunteer took the others. Zizel already had only three legs, so she may have been born like this and the litter discarded by the owners for this reason. The pups spent some time at the vet and the other was eventually adopted, leaving Zizel to live in the shelter. | |
