Zylah was a gift to the owner from a friend, a few weeks after Zylah was born. the main reason for surrender is that the owner cannot afford to properly care for Zylah. zylah appears to have a skin allergy through out her body. She has not seen by a Veterinarian lately. SOCIALZIATION Zylah is friendly and outgoing with strangers. She has spent time with a 6 year old child and she was relaxed, playful, and respectful. She plays gentle with adults and children alike. Zylah has never bitten anyone. BEHAVIOR Zylah does not have any behavior issues. She is not bothered by loud noises. Zylah is not bothered if you take away her food bowl, water bowl, or toy away. If you pushe her off of the sofa, resgtrain her or disturb her while sleeping, she is not bothered.

12/30/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Zylah has the cutest pout.. and with those big ears and her contrite face, she reminds me of Eeyore…Zylah is with us for no fault of her own. Owned since the age of few weeks, Zylah, who comes with glowing comments, was relinquished to us as her masters could not afford her care anymore. Indeed, she suffers from some kind of dermatitis that will require veterinary care and mostly a proper diet. A spay will also ensure that she does not waste anymore her health on pregnancies. She is quite a friendly gal, always at her door and looking at passer bys with a begging and melancholic face. She so yearns for company as she was a family dog, sharing her life harmoniously with a young child and was very sociable . Zylah is a good walker, appears house trained(as related to us by her former owners) and nears other dogs politely on the street. In playgroups with her peers, she is a little shy at first, then solicits play. Free in a pen, she is a little pushy with treats but will sit and wait upon request. Zylah loves food but does not guard her bowl or her rawhide. She is sometimes a little mouthy but listens right away when told. She is just being playful as she is still a young gal. Zylah has unique looks and an endearing personality. I see her with a single owner, a couple or a family.. She could fit in many settings as she is friendly, sociable, fine with dogs and has mingled with children. So, just come and meet her at the manhattan Care Center and make her yours..
