🚨 URGENT: FOSTER or FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME NEEDED! Experince with large and strong dogs!🚨
ZHANNA, a three-year-old German Shepherd Cross, is a joyful, affectionate, and playful girl with a heart as big as her size. She arrived in the UK from war-torn Ukraine and has been through so much change, yet she remains a happy, friendly, and loving soul.
💔 Less than 24 hours after arriving from war-torn Ukraine, lovely ZHANNA was returned back to rescue.
Through no fault of her own, the resident dog in her adoptive flat cannot accept her, leaving her single adopter overwhelmed and unable to cope with two large, energetic dogs.
Despite our thorough efforts during the home check to make sure future family is ready for challenges and discuss ZHANNA’s size and temperament and assurance that family has strong experience in large breed and completely ready, this heartbreaking situation has arisen. Settling in takes time, but sadly, she hasn’t been given the chance to decompress.
Here’s what he said:
“Unfortunately, they are not getting on at all. Nothing to do with Zhanna—she is a lovely, big girl and a friendly softy. Maybe because they are two girls and my Sasha is a bit territorial, it’s making it very difficult.
When walking them both together, because they are big dogs, it’s hard to manage.
It’s a real shame because she is lovely. A single person or family who can give her the attention will love her! She’s an easy dog and gentle soul.
Zhanna is a lovely girl. Gentle and curious in nature. Unfortunately, my dog is not settling to her presence in my flat. She would be a happy addition to any family or individual looking for a loving and energetic young dog.”
She went to a foster home on a farm and her transformation has been incredible! She immediately blossomed, and her foster described her as an absolute dream dog:
"ZHANNA is amazing! She absolutely loves kids – she slept with my 12-year-old! She’s big but thinks she’s a lap dog. She’s playful like a puppy, super affectionate, and cuddly. She’s wonderful in the car, loves walks, and is generally just a happy, friendly girl!"
ZHANNA is submissive and gets along well with medium-large friendly male dogs. She made instant best friends with the foster’s large GSD cross, and they play beautifully together. She thrives in open spaces, making her a perfect fit for a home with a large secure garden or rural setting where she can run and play.
Meet ZHANNA
SIZE: Large (60 cm / 30 kg)
AGE: 3 years
SPAYED: Yes
CHARACTER HIGHLIGHTS: Energetic, playful, affectionate, and loyal
DOGS: Thrives with other dogs, especially large, friendly males
CATS: Untested, ignores them through windows
CHILDREN: Best with kids 10+ due to her size and strength
ZHANNA adores canine companionship, especially large, friendly males, and thrives in a home with space to explore and play. She walks beautifully off-lead but pulls when on the lead. With guidance, she’ll become a fantastic walking partner.
Rescue Story
ZHANNA’s life began in Ukraine, rescued on a freezing winter day by a kind young man who carried her home. They were inseparable until war separated them. Left in his mother’s care, ZHANNA went from a cherished indoor companion to being chained outdoors. Her dad begged for help to secure her future, but contact was lost, and her fate became uncertain. Despite her past, ZHANNA remains a sweet and hopeful girl.
Ideal Home
ZHANNA needs an active, patient and physically strong family with experience handling large, energetic dogs. A large secure garden and a friendly male dog would be ideal. While she loves kids, older children (12+) are better suited due to her size and strength.
Health Information
ZHANNA is fully healthy, spayed, and microchipped. She has all core vaccines and a licensed C. Brucella test certificate.
