After being dumped in an old factory, a rare dog searches for a new home.
Zoe, two, is looking for a new home in the UK after being rescued from an abandoned factory in Hungary; she is currently in foster care in Lincolnshire.
This poor pooch has been subjected to the worst of humanity, being neglected, malnourished, and terrified of human touch.
Zoe, a Komondor cross, was discovered abandoned with four other dogs in an old factory in Hungary, one of which was sadly deceased.
The rare breed was completely sheared after arriving in the UK in July last year due to her coat’s poor condition.
The Kennel Club classifies Komondors, also known as mop dogs, as a rare breed.
They are easily accessible.
Zoe is currently in foster care in Lincolnshire, but she can be rehomed anywhere in the UK through Huns Dogs for Rehoming.
“Zoe is a sensitive girl who can be shy around visitors coming to her home but she is fine once she has gotten used to them,” according to a statement shared.
She is wary of men and children, so she requires an adult-only home. “She is an extremely kind dog with a gentle nature,” says the owner.
Zoe gets along well with other dogs, enjoys playing with them, and wishes to befriend them.
“She is housebroken, walks well on a leash, and travels well in the back seat of the car.”
She can be left alone for a couple of hours without incident.” Her hair must be brushed and groomed on a regular basis.
The two-year-old requires an understanding owner who can demonstrate to her that not everyone wants to hurt her.
Unfortunately, after spending 10 months in their home, she was returned by her first UK owner.
“Recently, in her current home, Zoe bit the owner when they wanted to put the collar on and also had an incident with a smaller dog on a walk,” the statement continues.
However, Zoe has never shown aggression before, and this is completely out of character and only demonstrates Zoe’s extreme anxiety.”
