Meet Zara
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Barking from: Seaview
What's up dog?
Zara us a wagger not a barker. Gentle and loving, and pleased to be with people. Zara, 15 years old, blind and deaf, has been living in her own little world for a few years now. Thank God for the sense of smell. Even more loving, just to be touched, cuddled and patted. She started life as a breeder, 7 pregnancies in 4 years, a loving mother; but not wanted after not conceiving a few times. What a gift that was to us. We hope that she has and is enjoying her life. We hope she is happy in her last years, loving and being loved.
