Hi, I’m Zanna
🐾 Meet Zanna - A Gentle Soul Ready to Bloom
CURRENTLY IN FOSTER CARE
Breed: Cattle Dog x Kelpie
Age: 1 year
Coat: Stunning tri‑colour roan
Personality: Sweet, sensitive, loyal, and deeply affectionate once she trusts you.
🌱 Her Story
Zanna's first year of life was heartbreaking. She spent her days confined to a tiny 2m x 2m enclosure, sharing the space with another dog who was often aggressive toward her. Despite this, Zanna never responded with aggression of her own.
She was then moved to a stock float where she lived without shelter, bedding, or comfort, sleeping on muddy ground until our incredible inspectorate team rescued her.
This was her entire world.
No freedom.
No kindness.
No chance to just be a puppy.
Understandably, Zanna came to us under-socialised, fearful, and overwhelmed by open spaces-almost agoraphobic. But from the moment she arrived, she began a new journey: one of healing, choice, and growing confidence.
💖 Who Zanna Is Becoming
Underneath her difficult past is an incredibly sweet, gentle‑natured girl who wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved. Once Zanna trusts someone, her bond is deep and unshakeable-she becomes a little velcro shadow with four paws.
She can be shy and nervous when faced with new people or changes in her environment, but when given time, patience, and positive interactions, she reveals her soft, affectionate heart.
🐶 Her Relationship With Other Dogs
Despite her past, Zanna truly loves other dogs.
She thrives around confident, calm, sociable canine companions, and having a dog friend significantly helps her navigate the human world and overcome her fears.
She tends to gravitate naturally towards women, but she is open to building trust with anyone who approaches her with the right energy-gentle, slow, and never forceful.
🌼 What Zanna Needs
Zanna is looking for a home that can offer:
* Time to decompress and feel safe
* Gentle routines with minimal pressure
* A calm, steady dog friend to guide her
* A quiet environment where she can continue building confidence
* Patient humans who understand trauma recovery takes time-and love
She is a little flower ready to bloom, but she needs the right garden to flourish.
❤️ Why She's Worth It
Zanna is the sweetest little soul you'll ever meet.
Once she trusts you, her loyalty is absolute.
She is affectionate, gentle, and incredibly loving.
