Adopt Zinc

Zinc is a truly sweet and gentle older lady who came to us from a breeder. Sadly, Zinc arrived to us with very limited vision as she had cataracts in her left eye and no sight in her right eye. After visiting a specialist, Zinc underwent cataract surgery, and having some sight again has made a wonderful difference to her life. While she was always a happy, waggy-tailed little dog even without vision, she is now much more confident and curious about the world around her, happily exploring her surroundings, meeting new people and dogs, and even enjoying short walks along the beach with her foster family and their dog. Zinc has previously had an abdominal hernia successfully repaired and has had two teeth extracted. She has very few teeth remaining and therefore may benefit from a softer diet depending on her comfort when eating. She also previously received treatment for itchy skin, which has now improved greatly, her skin is in very good condition and her coat is now soft and shiny. Zinc is in a loving foster home where she has settled in beautifully. Despite having never lived in a home before arriving with us, Zinc took to home life like a duck to water and has remained clean both day and night with regular trips into the garden. According to her foster mummy, Zinc absolutely loves exploring and being involved in daily life. She is very food-motivated and will happily supervise any activity in the kitchen in the hope that something tasty might appear. In fact, she loves food and treats, really anything edible! She also enjoys pottering around the garden, keeping an eye on anyone doing the gardening, and will occasionally burst into playful zoomies around the house or garden, acting more like a puppy than a senior dog. Zinc gets on very well with other dogs and would be happiest living with dog-friendly companions of any size or breed. She enjoys meeting other dogs out and about and is comfortable sharing her space, as long as they are kind and tolerant. Other
