Zeldah

My story

Meet Zeldah — part sugar, part spice, and 100% convinced she runs the household. If Mother Teresa and a moody tabby cat somehow combined forces and became a dog, you’d get Zeldah. One minute she’s giving you soft, soulful eyes like she’s composing a love letter in her head—and the next, she’s tossing side-eye that says, “I saw how uneven you poured my kibble, Karen.” Zeldah is that magical mix of nurturing sweetheart and spicy little diva. Think fairy godmother meets sarcastic roommate. She’ll snuggle up like your emotional support blanket, then sass you because you stopped petting her. Basically, she’s perfect. And she knows it. Allow us to introduce Zeldah—our resident diva in disguise. She’s a 4-year-old, 48lb female Pomsky… which is short for “Pomeranian + Husky,” but let’s be honest—it’s also a fancy way to say, “We paid extra to adopt a mutt with marketing.” She’s equal parts loving, independent, and deeply opinionated—a walking contradiction in the best way, like someone who meal preps kale salads but lives for midnight pizza. With her perfect floof, expressive eyes, and a touch of drama queen flair, Zeldah is ready to bless your life with love, loyalty, and just a dash of judgment. Somehow—somehow—Zeldah ended up surrendered to a shelter and didn’t get adopted. We know. We’re still trying to process it too. A fluffy, 48lb husky-pomeranian blend of sass and sweetness, left behind like she was basic? Unbelievable. But don’t worry—Zeldah knows her worth. She strutted into rescue like, “Finally, some people with taste.” Now she’s here with us, working the room with her quiet charm and resting princess face, just waiting for a family that appreciates the rare combination of big dog energy, small dog drama, and a soul full of snuggles. If you like your companions a little fluffy, a little feisty, and a whole lot fabulous—Zeldah’s ready for her close-up. Zeldah thinks other dogs are fabulous—She’s the social butterfly of the group, the one organizing games of tag and looking effortlessly cute while doing it. She doesn’t just play well with others, she elevates the playgroup. If there were doggy yearbooks, she'd win "Most Popular" and "Best Floof" by a landslide. When it comes to toddlers, Zeldah handles them like a seasoned babysitter who’s seen it all. She lets the tiny human run around in full gremlin mode and just gently taps him with a paw like, “Hey buddy, you dropped your dignity again.” Calm, sweet, and just the right amount of "I’m too fabulous for drama." She also thrives on attention from big humans and would absolutely love to attend your next backyard BBQ, family gathering, or awkward holiday dinner. She’s the picture of grace—no jumping, no chaos, just charm. Basically, she’s the friend you bring to parties so people think you’ve got your life together. As for cats? She hasn’t been around any, so we can’t say whether she’d try to befriend them, babysit them, or chase them like a squeaky toy. Zeldah operates at a solid 7 out of 10 on the energy scale—which, in mythical creature terms, makes her a cross between a caffeinated otter and a mildly responsible border collie. She’s got the get-up-and-go to keep things exciting, but not so much that you’ll find yourself Googling “doggy CrossFit” just to keep up. When it comes to car rides, Zeldah is always down. Open the door and she’s already halfway in, acting like she paid for premium seating. She settles in the back like a seasoned road trip pro, gazing out the window as if she’s contemplating the deeper meaning of life—or at least silently judging your choice in music. On leash? Oh, she thrives. She’s not dragging you down the street like a sled dog auditioning for the Iditarod, nor is she flopping over like a dramatic Victorian heroine when asked to walk. Nope—Zeldah trots along nicely, unless, of course, something interesting catches her eye, in which case she might momentarily forget her manners. Then she’s momentarily overcome with desire, much like every woman who enters Target for “just one thing” and suddenly finds herself clutching throw pillows, seasonal mugs, and a mystery clearance candle she simply had to have. Distractions happen. She’s equally happy to go on adventures or lounge around like she’s starring in a “Lazy Sunday” montage. One minute she’s ready to hit the trails or crash your favorite brewery patio like a furry influencer; the next she’s spread out on the couch perfecting her napping form and subtly demanding belly rubs. Temperament-wise, Zeldah is a soft-hearted, sweet soul with just enough sass to keep you humble. She’ll melt in your arms one minute, then give you side-eye the next because clearly you’re two minutes late on snack delivery. She’s not here to cause trouble, just to supervise your life with a firm but loving paw. Her favorite activities include car rides, walks, and flinging water out of her bowl like it’s her personal splash pad. Why use the kiddie pool when you can soak your entire patio with style? As for living situations, she’s pretty flexible. Got a fence? Great. Don’t have one? Also great—as long as her majesty gets her daily outing to stretch those pomsky legs and judge the neighborhood squirrels. And yes, she knows how to sit. Sometimes. When it suits her. She’s a Pomsky, not a golden retriever. Let’s manage expectations. Zeldah is basically potty trained—which means 98% of the time she’s a clean, civilized lady who handles her business outside like a proper grown-up. The other 2%? Well, let’s just say sometimes her bladder has opinions of its own. Maybe you were five minutes late, maybe the weather was rude, maybe she just felt like keeping you humble. Either way, she’s almost perfect… emphasis on the “almost,” but hey, nobody’s flawless—not even Beyoncé, probably. Zeldah hasn’t been kenneled because—brace yourself—she’s actually trustworthy. We know, it’s shocking. A dog who doesn’t destroy the house when left to her own devices? What is this sorcery? Zeldah falls solidly into the “casual commentator” category—think of her as the dog version of someone live-tweeting their day. She’s not out here trying to narrate every blade of grass that blows in the wind, but if she’s excited, wants your attention, or thinks you’ve forgotten how adorable she is? She’s gonna say something. She’s got thoughts, okay? She just prefers to share them selectively—usually when it benefits her. If you’ve made it this far and haven’t already filled out an adoption app, we can only assume you’re rereading this while pretending you don’t need another dog. (Spoiler: you do. And it’s Zeldah.) So go ahead—submit that application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app, pack some snacks, and prepare to meet your new best friend in glamorous Kiefer, Oklahoma. Zeldah’s waiting. Judging. And probably wondering why you’re taking so long.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Zeldah, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
