Zoe my first ever owned dog

We acquired a beautiful but anxious senior dog, Zoe August 2020 from a deaf lady – a friend of ours. She didn’t want to continue looking after this beautiful dog. She looked after it for 4 years after one of her adult daughters decided not to have Zoe after giving birth to a baby and gave it to her deaf mum.

Zoe is a cross bred Maltese and poodle. She doesnt shed any hair if any! She is lovely with people. She gets cranky when she settles on a place to sleep and does not want to be picked up! She gets anxious at ANY dog she sees. She barks like crazy!
