19-012 Zorra (f.k.a. 18-061 Precious) originally came to AGR in July 2018 as a stray from Huachuca City Shelter. She is a small Golden mix, judged to be about 3 years old at the time. She had a complete vetting done and was placed with an adoptive family. They named her Zorra, the Spanish word for a female fox – they thought she looked like one and could move as fast as one. She seemed to get along with the resident dogs, at least at first. However, after a few months, she was still trying to be the Alpha, and if not kept separated from the other dogs, she would get into a fight. She also started resource guarding and growling at friends of the family’s children when they visited. After consulting AGR’s behaviorist and trying for eight months to no avail to implement the behaviorist's suggestions for curtailing these undesirable behaviors, the family decided that Zorra would be better off in a quiet home with an older person or couple where there were no other dogs.

Placement found exactly that kind of home for Zorra. She now is having a wonderful time with an adopter who said: I am now the official parent of Zoe Zoe, formally Zorra. Zoe Zoe is so much fun! She loves to ride in the car and we walk at the park every day and around the neighborhood. My cats and Zoe Zoe do fine together. They all get a puppucino in the AM – Zoe prefers hers before breakfast. I never had a small dog before. She is so cute and happy all the time. Always by my side and hangs out on top of the couch. Thanks, Arizona Golden Rescue. She is gem! We have always believed that there is a perfect family out there somewhere for every dog we rescue –sometimes it just takes a while to find that family! Zoe Zoe is now where she belongs. Happy new life, Zoe Zoe!
