Zen – A Brave Heart deserving a 2nd Chance

Zen is a beautiful Siberian Husky cross whose old injury left him missing part of his front foot. But Zen has never let it hold him back.

With his striking blue eye, gentle nature and wonderful resilience, Zen enjoys his walks, loves canine company and simply gets on with life.

Zen doesn’t need sympathy — he needs someone to see beyond his injury and recognise the loving, courageous dog waiting for his forever home.

Could you be the person who gives Zen his happy ending?
