About Zane

Zane was brought into the shelter by the dog warden in the summer after he was found near a supermarket looking for discarded food. He was paired up with a kennel mate quickly who he immediately formed a bond with, but when she was moved to a different shelter he got left behind.

Zane is now part of a group of five, including both males and females, and although he’s adapted and gets on well with them, he’s so ready to find a home where he can finally have some 1-2-1 focus and enjoy a more calm environment. Being a Pointer mix, Zane is an active, highly affectionate, and intelligent boy. He is very sociable, friendly and human oriented, and at around 18 months old so he’s still only a young dog.

Zane is looking for a home outside of the city where he can enjoy a bit more of the countryside, experience lovely long walks, and escape the hustle and bustle of a more urban setting. He would love to have green spaces on his doorstep where he can enjoy exploring and following his nose. The shelter can be a frustrating environment for higher energy dogs who really exercise as a release.

Zane is super friendly and loves being around people. He lives quite happily alongside other dogs so we think he could bond successfully with a well-matched resident dog who’d like to play with him. A female of a similar size would probably be his preference, but he does also get along with balanced male dogs in his group. His kennel neighbours in the next pen however are more boisterous, confident males, and he doesn’t like it when they bark at him.

Zane would be a great adventure dog and would also respond very well to some entry level training to help improve his understanding of commands and basic manners. He is a very sweet boy, but understandably he doesn’t really know what’s expected of him having had no training in the shelter. He shows a lot of promise and is very keen to please, so it would be a missed opportunity not to get his clever mind learning some new things!

Zane is currently based in Cyprus and has a clean bill of health. He is ready to travel once he finds his forever home.
