Adopt Sweet & Calm Senior Yorkie: Zoë
🐶 Meet Zoë – A Gentle Soul Ready for a Peaceful Retirement
At 11 years young, Zoë is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like a home. This lovely standard-size Yorkie weighs in at around 10kg (and possibly a little more — she's a beautifully built girl!) and has the most wonderful, easy-going nature. She is very friendly, loveable, and wonderfully calm, the kind of companion who is simply happy to be near you.
Her owner describes her as well taken care of — her teeth are still in great shape, she can still jump and run, and she remains lively in spirit, even if she now needs a little help getting up onto the bed.
What Zoë would truly thrive on is a quieter, settled home with an older couple or a mature individual who enjoys a calm routine and plenty of gentle affection. She's not a demanding dog — she just wants a soft spot to rest and a human to love. Could you be the one to offer this sweet senior the peaceful retirement she deserves? Adopting a senior Yorkie is one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do.
💖 Zoë's Personality and Needs
Age: 11 years old
Temperament: Zoë is genuinely friendly, loveable and calm. She is not a barker — she only speaks up when it's necessary. She enjoys the company of other dogs but is equally happy just chilling on her own. She's a relaxed, low-drama companion who brings a lovely sense of peace to a home.
Good with Dogs: Generally good. She interacts well with other dogs but prefers to chill rather than rough-and-tumble.
Good with Cats: Generally good.
Good with Children: Not an ideal match. Zoë has never really been interested in children and would be happiest in an adult-only or older-couple home. She has previously shown a bit of a nip when startled or handled roughly, so a home without young children is essential.
Housetraining: Yes, fully house-trained.
Health/Special Needs: Zoë is in excellent general health — her owner reports no ongoing health issues, her teeth are still good, and she remains lively and able to jump and run. She does, however, experience the occasional minor seizure (roughly every second month, though she hasn't had one in a few months). These are undiagnosed, last about five minutes, and are managed simply by talking her through them calmly — afterwards she may vomit or have a small stool and then is perfectly fine. She avoids the pool. A new owner should be comfortable keeping an eye on this.
Ideal Home: A calm, settled home with an older couple or mature individual is ideal. Zoë is an escape artist, so a very secure property with high, well-maintained fencing and secure gates is essential. She should not be left to roam near open doors or gates. A home without young children is required. She would be happy as an only dog or with calm canine company. A gentle, patient home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort and safety is what she deserves.
❤️ Ready to give this sweetheart a forever home?
If you have a quiet, secure home and a heart big enough for a gentle senior girl, Zoë could be the perfect companion for you. She asks for so little and gives back so much — calm company, quiet affection, and the simple joy of a dog who is truly grateful for a safe place to call home. Open your door to Zoë and gain a loyal, loving friend for her golden years. Adopt a rescue Yorkie in Bedfordview today and be the reason this sweet senior gets her second chance.
