Zoey is a six-year-old pointer mix who came to the shelter when her family couldn’t keep her anymore. She’s a calm, gentle soul who prefers to ease into new situations at her own pace. At first, Zoey might act a bit shy, but once she opens up, she’ll come over quietly for some petting and keeps a close eye on everything going on. She enjoys wandering in the yard but really perks up for walks, and she handles the leash like a pro. Zoey does well with both dogs and cats, though she does best with a slow, gentle introduction. Her previous owner said she did great on car rides and always wanted to be near her people, settling in wherever the family was. She weighs about 40 pounds— just right for families searching for a dog with some energy, but who is happy to settle down quietly. Zoey would do best in a home with older kids who understand her need for space when she’s adjusting. She’s waiting patiently for the right person to come along and give her a new start.
