Zina′s Story

I’m Zina. Life wasn’t always kind to me. For a long time, I roamed the streets of a rural area, trying to survive. Around my neck was a short rope, tight and cruel, cutting into my skin. It hurt, and it reminded me every day that I had no one to care for me.

One day, I managed to find my way into a kind lady’s garden. She didn’t shout at me or chase me away. She saw my pain, my tired eyes, and she acted. She took me to the vets, stayed by my side, and helped me heal. For the first time, I felt safety and kindness.

She tried to find me a home, but I was a hunting dog, and nobody wanted me. I didn’t understand why. All I wanted was love and a place to belong.

When she couldn’t find the right home for me, she brought me to 2nd Chance Dogs. Here, I am safe. Here, I am learning to trust again. My past was painful, but now… now there’s hope.

Character & Temperament

I was very attached to the lady who rescued me and I still remember her kindness every day.

I am trying to settle in, learn the routine, and make sense of this new place.

It’s not always easy—when I was finally free, I learned what it felt like to have a home and love, and now being in a kennel is hard. But I am resilient, and with patience and care, I am learning to trust and adjust.

I enjoy gentle attention and love cuddling, especially on soft beds or the sofa. I have a calm, loving nature, and I bond deeply with those who show me patience and care.I get along with some dogs, I’m child-friendly, and I walk nicely on the lead, but I’m not cat-friendly.

Ideal Home for Zina

I would thrive in a calm and loving home where I feel safe and can receive gentle attention. A patient family who understands my sensitive nature would be perfect.
