Bloom has welcomed a new crew member onboard! Welcome Zoë, a podenco we rescued from Spain through Extraordinary Galgos & Podencos of Western Canada. We are so grateful to this amazing organization who is rescuing dogs monthly and connecting them with their forever families in Canada. Zoë is doing great and getting adjusted to her new life. We are so thrilled to have her in our lives and love her to bits 😜💕🐾🥰⛵️
