Poor Zena has been in kennels with our friends at MayoSPCA for a WHOLE YEAR, watching other dogs trot off to their forever homes, and wondering why she’s never chosen💔😭 We’d love for Zena to finally find her forever people – can you give her a share to help her?🙏
This sweet 2-year-old girl arrived at the shelter through no fault of her own. Her family loved her dearly but were forced to leave their home and couldn’t find a new rental that allowed dogs. They were absolutely heartbroken to leave her behind💔
Zena is thought to be a German Shepherd crossed with a Border Collie, and she’s inherited the loyal, people-focused nature these breeds are famous for. She craves companionship, loves affection, and dreams of having someone special to call her own. Cuddles are her favourite thing in the world! 🥰
Zena has experience living with another dog and regularly socialises with other large dogs during playdates at the shelter. She could happily live with another dog following a successful introduction. Zena can find being left alone difficult and would love a home where someone is around for most of the day. As she’s a big girl, she would be best suited to a home with children over 10. She’d love to live in a quiet or rural place, with a nice, secure garden where she can stretch her legs and potter about🏡
Zena recently spent a few days in the home of one of the MayoSPCA volunteers, to give her a break from kennel life. Here’s what the volunteer had to say about her: “She was brilliant all the time and settled quite well, she would play football with my son in the garden and loved hanging around us while we were doing some DIY in the house. She was very clean in the house and slept in her own bed at night.” What a dream dog!! 😍
Poor Zena has already waited a whole year, and she really needs someone willing to give her a chance. If you’d love to be the one to turn Zena’s life around, please contact our friends at MayoSPCA at [email protected]
And please spread the word about this beautiful girl🙏! She’s looking for a home anywhere in Ireland, and she can also be rehomed in the UK as she has her rabies vaccinations🐾
