About Zelda (Labrador retriever) in Newport Beach

Zelda is waiting for you at Mutts in Need in Newport Beach, CA 92660. Meet Zelda, a 3 year old 60lb Black Lab mix who is ready to officially trade her rough past for a permanent spot in the front seat. Zelda was rescued after being dumped in a popular dumping ground in Menifee. This cutie is a firm believer in the "shotgun" rule when riding in your car—she’s not just a passenger; she’s your dedicated co-pilot and navigator. While she might start off a little bashful, it only takes a bit of floor time and some gentle pets to melt her exterior. Once she knows you’re a friend, Zelda transforms into a professional cuddler who will politely—or not so politely—paw at you the second you stop the scritches. Zelda has an overall great demeanor and is very sweet . She’s so trusting that she’ll let you clean her ears and wipe her paws without a fuss, all while demanding a belly rub for her cooperation. Because she’s recovering from a rough start, this sweet girl is currently looking for a hero to help her through an upcoming ACL surgery. She’s already proven she has the heart of a champion, she just needs a family ready to invest in a lifetime of loyalty and front-seat adventures. If you have a soft spot for resilient souls and a spare seat in the car, Zelda is waiting to crawl right into your lap and your heart.

The rescue and Zelda will be so grateful if you’re able to sponsor any amount towards her surgery.
