Zina - Available for Adoption

Curvy floofy girl seeking retirement sofa for snuggles and a loving human/family to wait on me paw on foot

Zina is a lovely girl who was returned due to a change in her previous owners circumstances.

We really thought Zina had found her forever home but sadly that was not to be.  

We are all genuinely heartbroken that this silver cutie is now in kennels.

Whilst we appreciate kennels and all their hard work it really is no place for an older girl.

 I would love my new people to know this about me:

• 10 years old approximately

• Mio/Shepherd Crossbreed

• I don’t like living with another dog as I find them a bit much.

• When I go out in public I get scared and I wear a muzzle. I know they can look scary but I’m ok with this as it makes me feel safe and secure.

• I don’t like other small furry animals

•  I have a sensitive tummy so I like a simple diet like salmon and tuna kibble as I can’t mange rich dog food

•  I love napping

• I enjoy being in the garden

•  I love adults and kids and I’m happy to have as much attention as you can offer

•  I’ve been told I’m a gentle affectionate girl…oh and don’t forget pretty  

I really really hope this is third time lucky for me and I can find my permanent sofa.

Love and licks Zina

Zina is a 10-year-old Shepherd mix who is looking for a calm, comfortable forever home.

Due to unexpected changes, her current owner now lives on a boat, which unfortunately isn’t the right environment for her.

Zina would thrive in a home with a garden where she can enjoy her space and relax.

About Zina:

 • Age: 10 years

 • Breed: Shepherd mix

 • Loves: Spending time in the garden, napping, and being around adults and children

 • Diet: Simple (tuna and salmon kibble, as she cannot tolerate rich food)

 • Needs: A dog-free home (she doesn’t get along with other dogs or small animals)

 • Special Notes: Zina is dog-reactive, so she requires a muzzle in public. She manages well with this and enjoys her walks.

Zina is gentle, affectionate, and enjoys a peaceful life. She would make a wonderful companion for someone who can give her a safe, stable home and a bit of outdoor space to call her own.

She really deserves a place to call home. Please share for the lovely girl

Beautiful zina, this is a note from her foster mum.

Zina is such a beautiful girl with a lovely character.

She's extremely laid back & very adaptable, taking everything in her stride.

Zina walks well on the lead, trotting along happily, however she can be reactive to other dogs, although responds well to correction & praise when calm.

She doesn't require a lot of exercise as she's generally quite lazy & likes her sleep.

Although she does enjoy going out & is happy to be fussed when out on walks by adults & children.

Will often just go up to people on their drive & stand there until they say hello.

Zina has her playful moments too & likes her toys; however, she is not an excitable dog & rarely barks other than when the neighbour's cat winds her up from the other side of the fence.

Zina has been very responsive to training & enjoys giving her paw when she wants something, she follows commands extremely well e.g. sit, stay, wait, here etc.

She does enjoy spending time in the garden & often just lies on the grass & can be reluctant to come in, which is when she can have selective hearing, although will plod in when she's ready.

Zina is an independent girl & really doesn't demand anything, unless I have chicken & then I will get a clumsy paw & pleading look which of course I can't resist.

She travels well in the car, happily looking out the window & is fully house trained.

Will let me know if she needs the garden, though she likes her lie ins so rarely gets up before 8-9am.

All in all, this big softie is going to make a very lucky person a wonderful companion.

There's not a day goes by when she doesn't make me smile
