Zinnia

Zinnia is an 11-week old female Red Shiba Inu. Follow her Facebook Album and the General Puppy Album.

Meet Zinnia! She is the 2nd born to Dahlia, behind Aster and older sister to Cosmos and Daisy. She is the cousin to Pansy and Poppy. Zinnia was the third smallest of the Flower Pups behind Pansy, then Cosmos. Zinnia is a long haired Shiba that is very good at reading canine body language and adjusting her play styles to meet the needs of the big or little dogs. Zinnia was born Monday, June 19, 2023, at 8:06 am there was a lot of fluid but no crying. She weighed 6.95 ounces. She was small but has a mighty voice. Zinnia squealed the loudest and squirmed the most during Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and even sometimes during Early Sensory Introduction (ESI)! She loves to jump up in the air when she wants to be picked up and carried around. Zinnia has done well with all animals. She is shy about doing new things on her own and prefers to have another dog with her when exploring new areas. Zinnia was a bit obsessed when she saw her pretty face in the mirror for the first time but she was able to pull away and play with toys like the rest of the pups! Zinnia is currently in Adoption Pending.
