From the Foster:

Zena is an amazing pup who would fit into a home that had some room for her to run around with her toys. I live in an apartment right now and I think she would be comfortable in an apartment or home alike. She would do great in a home with a fenced in yard - since she does enjoy the outdoors (if you are not someone who could walk her regularly). Zena also LOVES to cuddle up in bed for the night, so if you are someone who wants her on the ground or in her crate, that could present an issue but I am sure she could adjust. Zena seems to do great with children, as she has come across several on walks. Zena has showed no aggressiveness/dominant behaviors, even during eating time. She lets me take bones right from her mouth, no issues.

Zena is not a fan of loud noises and will distract her from her "going out"  duties, although she doesn't whine or bark she will stop and watch/listen until its over.  Zena has not had an accident in the house yet, but I do take her out regularly. I work 8-5/day so I let her out in the morning before I leave and then take her on a few short walks when I get home until bedtime. So far, Zena does not have an issue with her crate, she doesn't bark or whine. A quiet area may suit her best, as I currently live in middle of the city. Overall, Zena is one of the best fosters I have had. She is smart, loving and a ball of energy (sometimes, when she is not cuddling with you :) ). Please let me know if you have any questions, I would be happy to help in anyway possible.
