A Life Built on the Value of Helping Others
I was raised by parents who believed strongly in helping others, not just in words, but in action. From an early age, I learned that if you have the ability to make a difference, you should. That belief has stayed with me throughout my life, and it’s something I am now proud to pass on to my three boys.
Over the years, I’ve taken part in a wide range of fundraising challenges, from marathons and triathlons to sponsored walks, runs and mountain climbs. Each challenge has pushed me physically and mentally, but more importantly, each one has supported causes close to my heart.
Providing Therapy Dogs for Children with Cancer
More recently, my focus has become even more personal.
I now provide therapy dogs, free of charge, to children with terminal cancer. Working alongside the Indie Rose Trust, we bring comfort, calm, and moments of joy to children and families facing unimaginable circumstances.
There is something incredibly special about the connection between a child and a dog. In hospital rooms and difficult moments, therapy dogs create light, a distraction from pain, a reason to smile, and sometimes simply a quiet presence when words aren’t enough. These dogs also provide comfort to siblings often left at home while parents spend long hours at the hospital.

Charity as a Family Value
For me, charity isn’t about recognition. It’s about responsibility. It’s about showing my children that kindness matters, action matters, and giving back is not optional — it’s a privilege.
Posted on Ilona MarshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly can’t recommend Zoe highly enough. I bought a puppy from her and also completed training through her academy, and both experiences were absolutely outstanding. The puppy I brought home has been incredible in every way, healthy, well-socialised, and with such a lovely temperament. It’s clear how much care and dedication Zoe puts into raising her dogs. The training was just as impressive. It was well structured, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable. Zoe has a fantastic way of explaining things clearly and making you feel confident, no matter your level of experience. I came away with so much knowledge and a much stronger bond with my pup. You can really tell that Zoe is passionate about what she does, and she goes above and beyond to support both her dogs and their owners. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy or high quality training.🩷Posted on Natasha WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve worked closely with Zoe Saunders as both a friend and whelper, and I can confidently say her level of care and dedication is second to none. She goes above and beyond for every dog in her care, and the quality of her dogs speaks for itself — well-bred, well-raised, and given the best possible start in life. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable breeder. 🤍Posted on JadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding a reputable breeder when buying from overseas isn’t always easy, and it’s natural to feel cautious at the start. Being introduced to Zoe Saunders made that decision effortless. From the outset, Zoe was warm, attentive, and highly professional. She guided me through each step with such ease and clarity that any initial worries quickly disappeared. Even from a distance, I felt reassured and fully supported throughout the entire process. When our puppy arrived, it confirmed everything. Healthy, beautifully natured, and clearly well cared for from the very beginning. It’s evident that Zoe raises her dogs with genuine dedication and a great deal of love. I’m absolutely delighted with the experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Zoe to anyone, especially those considering bringing a puppy home from abroad.Posted on Jon WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Buying a puppy from overseas, especially from Dubai, is a gamble if you don’t know who you’re dealing with. Trust is the whole game. That’s where Zoe Saunders stands apart. I was pointed in her direction and, in hindsight, that recommendation made the entire experience. From the first conversation, she was calm, clear, and completely in control of the process. No confusion. No uncertainty. Just straight answers and steady guidance. Exactly what you need when you’re doing this from another country. She made something that could’ve felt complicated feel simple. That’s not luck, that’s experience. And the proof is in the dog. Healthy. Confident. Well-socialised. The kind of temperament you can’t fake or rush. It’s obvious these puppies are raised properly, with time, attention, and standards that don’t slip. I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. If you’re buying from abroad and want to remove the risk, Zoe is someone you can trust without hesitation. The family and I couldn't be more happier with would recommend who to anyone whose serious about quality, health and peace of mind.

What stands out most is her knowledge, honesty, and genuine care for the dogs. She clearly understands genetics, health testing, and breeding at a level most people simply do not, and that gives you real confidence when speaking to her. You can tell this is not just about selling puppies, it is about producing exceptional-quality dogs with health, temperament, and long-term wellbeing in mind. She is also incredibly trustworthy and direct, which is refreshing. If you are looking for someone who truly knows her craft, takes quality seriously, and clearly puts huge thought into what she does, Zoe is someone I would highly recommend. A real expert, and a real professional.Posted on Julianne ReadingsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
