Zara

Zara came to the shelter from the city pound on 9/7/2026, after spending over 4 weeks there and more than fulfilling her legal stray hold. She is large and muscular and looks to be mostly a pit bull type dog, estimated at around 6 years old. She has been vet checked, spayed, and microchipped, and her fee is $150. She had to have a long line of mammary tumors surgically removed in late October 2026, and there were no signs of cancer found after this fairly extensive procedure. She is completely healthy and ready for a new home!

Zara is an absolute sweetheart who has won over our volunteers and the staff at the vet's office. She does seem to have had some basic training. She seems like she would do well with children and male dogs but we're thinking no smaller animals, like cats, would be best for her. She will need some regular exercise and enjoys a good cuddle, too. She would make a lovely companion!

NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org.

We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South.

We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
