From North Central Animal Shelter's Facebook Page:

Zara is a 2 year old Spayed Female Brown Brindle American Pit Bull Terrier and Dutch Shepherd mix who was surrendered by her owner on March 25th to the North Central LA City shelter because they had no time for poor Zara. Weighing only 46 lbs., Zara is very sweet and almost puppy-like. Zara is super sweet and takes treats gently from your hand. Zara was around a lot of other dogs at our photoshoot and she seemed to get along great with all of them. Zara would be a perfect addition to any family home. All North Central animals come spayed/neutered, microchipped and with full shots (including rabies).

As can be seen from the video above, Zara is still bursting with energy, but is also described as "really great with people" and a "really, really friendly dog."
