Zoe

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

The basics Age: 10 Gender: Female Energy Level: Medium Weight: 18 kg Meet Zoe! Zoe was being kept in a small enclosure and left there to die as they didn’t know what to do with her. She is terrified by thunderstorms and fireworks. We cannot immagine how awful it must have been for this poor girl to be by helself when she was so afraid... Since in rescue, we have found that as long as we are with her she is not that terrified. Zoe suffers from bradycardia and is on heart medications. Bradycardia is the medical term for an unusually slow heart rate. In most cases, dogs with a slow heart rate live completely happy, normal lives with no symptoms at all. Because the heart pumps blood a bit more slowly, some dogs might just have lower energy levels, get tired a bit faster on walks or occasionally seem a little lethargic. Zoe is doing very well and is full of energy as you can see from the video! By the way, she have a very good, natural recall. Also her heart condition can be kept under control. Compatibility Dogs: Zoe gets along well with all dogs Cats: Yes Despite everything she has been through, Zoe is a fighter and deserves a forever home filled with love and patience. Could that be with you?

About Zoe

What life with Zoe looks like

Zoe is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Italian Setters in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zoe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zoe?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS Italian Setters handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zoe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zoe if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Italian Setters will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Zoe already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Zoe isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SOS Italian Setters early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zoe and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
