Zayit

Howdy! My name Is Zayit, pronounced Za-yeet, which means olive. I might look kind of small now but I am going to grow up to be a big gal, and I mean fast!
I was found dumped, scared, and alone. The kind woman who found me took me to God’s Dogs Rescue ASAP. I was covered in fleas and ticks, had worms and was rather thin! But GDR cleaned me up, fed me, gave me medicine for my tummy and to keep those pesky fleas and ticks away! Funny thing is, because I looked small at the time, they thought I was a chihuahua!
My foster mom saw me and said “NO WAY! Chihuahua?” Now she tells everyone “This girl looks like a BLACK MOUTH CUR!” Do you know what that means? That means I will probably grow up to be a larger gal, maybe 60 pounds, and an active one! Daily exercise and learning tricks at minimum will keep me busy because hunters and herders are what my ancestors were known to be!

And so here I am, growing by the day, eating super well and playing a lot with my new friend, Sariya. She is also my foster fur-sista, who is teaching me how to be a doggoe. We love rough housing! And she is teaching me how to play tug-of-war with her toys, but on her terms.
I sleep snuggly in a big girl crate, or what my foster mama refers to as my “night-night”. It’s my safe space, my dining space, my sleeping space, my over-all private space.

I am a bit shy, perhaps some will refer to me as apprehensive. When you walk towards me or try to pick me up, I might run and hide, like in my night-night. Sometimes my foster mama scoops me up and we sit together on her fuzzy chair. I am safe there too. Other times my foster brother scoops me up and tries to nap with me. I feel safe there too. Time and patience and lots of socializing folks, that’s all I need and I will luv you fur-ever.
