Zoe's Story

Meet Zoe! About Zoe Zoe is a sweet‑natured, affectionate 5‑year‑old Border Collie mix who has found herself in the shelter through no fault of her own. This sudden change has left her feeling a little confused, as she clearly misses her family and daily routine. With her gentle temperament and lovely personality, Zoe is wonderful around people, other dogs, and kids. She thrives on connection, companionship, and being included in everyday life. Personality & Behaviour: Affectionate & Loving Zoe adores being close to her humans and is happiest when she can be part of the family. She'll gently remind you when it's time for scratches, cuddles, and fusses! Height‑Seeking Behaviour When Zoe is feeling anxious or excited, she may jump up. This height‑seeking behaviour is often her way of asking for reassurance. Good news: It's easy to guide her! Rewarding her for keeping all 4 paws on the ground-with treats, praise, or gentle petting -helps reinforce calm behaviour. Background Zoe has recently been spending long periods alone, which is new for her. Previously, she was used to having people around, so she became a bit of an escape artist trying to find her family. She'll do best in a home where she gets regular company, involvement in family life, and predictable routines to help her feel secure. In the Shelter Zoe settles beautifully in her pen: * Calm & quiet * Not destructive * Fully toilet trained * Just wants to feel loved and safe She's patiently waiting for her happily‑ever‑after family who sees how special she truly is. Zoe is ready to love and be loved. Could she be your new best friend?

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
