With ongoing health issues, she’s not asking for much — just a calm home with a little garden and someone kind by her side. She’s gentle, low-energy, and would thrive in a peaceful environment where she can feel safe and cared for.

SIZE/WEIGHT: Large / 20-25kg

What she needs most is a quiet, patient home and a playful dog companion who can help her rediscover joy every single day.
